Illumina’s campus expansion was designed to house some of the most important functions of the company. Executive offices, cafeteria with a commercial kitchen and all hands meeting room all are located in this new headquarters building. LEED™ Silver Certified; the design elements such as natural light and smart engineering systems make the space a comfortable place to work. Sustainable materials used in various spaces include: carpet tile, ceramic and glass tile, marble, granite, slate and local wood species.

Two stories of office and accessory spaces are organized around a continuous feature wall, which runs along a central circulation path through the entire floor. Illumina’s open door philosophy was translated into all open office spaces with glass enclosed meeting rooms and an abundance of windows into adjacent spaces. Unobstructed natural light from the perimeter windows and skylights fills the space and contributes to the sustainable aspect. The open office areas are located at the perimeter of the building, which allows for great views to be accessible to anyone on the floor. Linking this expansion with the rest of the campus is an iconic 144 foot pedestrian bridge with fabric structure canopy.
