Horizon Therapeutics Headquarters – Deerfield
Following a recent rebranding, Horizon Therapeutics’ new space expresses its new identity and celebrates patient care in a 650,000 square-foot state-of-the-art headquarters in Deerfield.
Lamar Johnson Collaborative utilized technology to complete the renovation of the Horizon Therapeutics headquarters in Deerfield, Illinois.
Providing its employees with the best and most advanced environment to succeed in allows Horizon’s patients to receive the best possible care. The state-of-the-art facility is full of engaging amenities to help attract talent and position it as one of the best places to work. The workplace program LJC worked on accommodates Horizon’s 500+ employees with brand new state-of-the-art furnishings and technology. Building amenities include a Starbucks coffee shop, full-service cafeteria, work café, tech pub, snack pantries on each floor, multipurpose training center, fitness center, game lounge, and an outdoor landscaped terrace.
The renovation included 450,000 SF of space all within a remarkably tight schedule: from start to finish, the renovation took approximately ten months. Capitalizing on technology by presenting multiple life flythroughs using LJC’s BIM model in real-time while documenting for construction rather than formal paper and slide presentations had a significant impact on meeting this quick turnaround goal. Generating live fly-through models allowed Horizon to see every square inch of LJC’s design and walk away with a full contextual understanding of the team’s design thinking. LJC also played off of its experience working with Horizon on its former Lake Forest U.S. headquarters and Dublin, Ireland global headquarters. This existing client knowledge and ability to listen to and adapt to every required program change was crucial in keeping the project on track to meet its record-breaking schedule.
