A new high-tech, brightly colored, transparent façade creates a vibrant and memorable image for the improved and updated Dong-A Research and Development campus.
In addition to renovating the existing R&D facility, the design team connected a larger new facility with an above-ground glass entrance piece and a large two-story below-grade vivarium.
The campus accommodates the latest trends in new ways of working, with open labs, spacious light-filled offices, and amenities on every floor. Innovative heat recovery technology greatly increases energy efficiency.
