LS3P prepared a masterplan that proposed consolidating all administrative staff of the Department of Health and Human Services into one complex. LS3P programmed over 800,000 SF of departmental space, in order to bring together DHHS staff scattered throughout multiple office sites. The proposed masterplan included the co-location of their Central Administrative Offices, all Triangle-based Divisions, as well as Support Services staff.

Following the masterplan, LS3P worked with the DOA and DHHS to design phase one, which included an eleven-story office building and nine-story parking deck.

The workplace design was a collaborative effort with the end users through a series of meetings and workshops. The result was a work environment that utilizes a mixture of workstations, soft seating, and built programmatic elements like private offices, huddle rooms, and phone booths to break up the floor plate.
