HQ & LABS AT EDGE@BRDG

EDGE@BRDG, which opened in June 2020, spans 160,000 square feet of innovative space designed for growth and connection. It serves as home to early and mid-stage agtech companies while also hosting the 39 North Collaboration Hub. This vibrant environment that blends collaborative workspaces, hospitality amenities, and dedicated focus areas to foster innovation, networking, and productivity.

To encourage a culture of employee engagement and collaboration, the design creates fluid connections between labs, work areas, common spaces, and floors. A large stadium stair serves as an active conduit between office levels and anchors a large communal dining and lounge space, complete with a fully equipped kitchen. Decorative custom lighting, subtly referencing irrigation piping, bathes the upper stair in soft light. Patios with views of the greenhouses reinforce the AG Tech sector mission while extending the work environment outdoors.

Inspired by the AG Tech sector, Arcturis selected bold and vibrant colors found in agricultural landscapes. Feature tile walls in the kitchen and hospitality areas subtly reference the bold geometric patterns seen in aerial agricultural photography. Defining the open office area, linear baffles with integrated lighting create a bold pattern inspired by crop fields. At a smaller scale, the agriculture patterning was designed into custom CNC-routed white lacquer end panels at each workstation, adding privacy and visual interest.

Shaw Dye Lab carpet tiles add a hint of organic texture to huddle rooms, and polycarbonate panels reminiscent of greenhouses add dimension and visual privacy to focus rooms. In the corporate boardroom concealed tunable LED lighting provides calming indirect light, mixing warm and cool light temperatures that adjust with the time of day, with the seasons, or on demand.
