Linkedin

To create a dynamic workplace that meets the needs of in-person, hybrid and remote teams—and creates a common visual language to unite disparate buildings on campus—NBBJ provided master planning and interior design services at LinkedIn’s global headquarters. The design creates a “nexus office,” one that draws people to it from other places on-campus and from their homes, with diverse work spaces, unique amenities and experiences that can only be found at the office.

Each component of the design reflects a new way of working that is varied and connective. The first floor features co-working spaces, a market-style cafeteria, coffee shop and community events area to create a vibrant campus heart. In addition, highly kinetic, adaptable work spaces integrated throughout support a multitude of work modes: from outdoor team meetings and 1:1 conversations to heads-down tasks and everything in between.

The project includes fewer work stations than normal, replaced with spaces designed to accommodate diverse worker preferences. These include activity-based layouts and furniture types: such as a “living room” space that serves as a social anchor, team hubs that offer areas for group discussions and “perch points” for heads-down work or pair meet-ups. Neighborhoods are vertically organized along a gradient of work styles, from the most social on the ground floor to the most heads-down at the top.
