Workplace and fun place. Collaborative space and play space. Those are some of the features integrated in the new LEGO® building complex serving as global gathering point in the LEGO Headquarters.
A clear and innovative expression of what LEGO® play is all about. That is one way to describe the distinctive new office building, which the LEGO Group plans to build in Billund, Denmark.
From the collaborative workspace inside and to the public park that surrounds it; from the welcoming and informal feeling in LEGO People House to the grand and colorful space in the atrium; from architectural features modelled over known LEGO elements to an interior with bright colors and open space, the building will have a distinct LEGO feel.
LEGO® People House as employees want it
An integral part of the new office building is LEGO® People House; an area housing facilities for various activities, all based on input from LEGO employees. As such, the new office building will serve as both workspace and play space for LEGO employees.
Part of global ambition of continuing growth
The LEGO Group employs more than 17,000 people around the world, of which more than 4,000 LEGO® employees of 35 nationalities work in Denmark, spanning product development, marketing, manufacturing, engineering, quality and various other functions. Over the course of the past years, the number of employees in Billund has increased si gnificantly, with 250 new people added in 2015 alone.
So the new office building will contribute to solving the increasing problem of having sufficient workspace for the current employee base, but also to the continuing growth globally:
New main office building in Billund: Total area: 52,000 square meters Architect: C.F. M0ller
Consultative engineer: Niras
The building will have an architectural shape to provide optimal daylight conditions for the total office space. Furthermore, the building is constructed to ensure low energy consumption and to enrich the structure with internal yet outdoor green courtyard areas.
The new office building integrates with the master plan for Billund Municipality.
