The Serena Williams Building by Skylab Architecture is the largest structure at Nike World Headquarters at more than 1 million square feet, and built for an on campus workforce of 20,000 with 1,900 of those in this building. Our firm designed all aspects of this programmatically complex building, including core and shell, interiors, FF&E, and brand integration. The project presented three primary design challenges:
To create a design-intensive workspace that fosters connection and collaboration and drives innovation on an enormous scale.
To leverage regenerative principles, in partnership with nature, to optimize the design for the benefit of the site and the building occupants.
To capture the ethos of sport, Nike’s heritage, and the spirit of Serena Williams, the ultimate phenom-warrior-muse, and the building’s namesake.
