Using theatrical rigging, HOK designed the panoramic screen to lift quickly and silently into the wall above as soon as the presentation ends, revealing, for the first time, the bustling GNOC three levels below. With this dramatic interface, HOK closed the gap between internal operations and external marketing strategies. Client, architect, and consultants agree that the project is successful because the systems, content, and physical space were developed as a single vision and realized as one unit. Unlike building types of the past, new technology-infused facilities require carefully planned, expandable infrastructures. It's no longer enough to pack the shell and be done.
Architects now design for change, because nothing can impede the migration of technology.
