Cloud data management company Informatica had some earthly concerns when opening its new Austin workspace. Its 400 employees required more than 250 workstations. The 35,000-square-foot space was vast but narrow, and needed to be fashionable enough to attract the city’s competitive workforce yet versatile to change with the times. Luckily, the project’s architect of record, Lauckgroup, was full of ideas. In collaboration with Revel Architecture & Design, the team conceived a double-layer circulation plan: a concrete-floored main corridor, and a second, carpeted track between open office areas.
