Epic - Campus IIThe second Epic campus, located in Verona, Wisconsin, added four office buildings to the Epic masterplan. Taking cues from the rural landscapes of Wisconsin and the surrounding farming vernacular evolved into what is now referred to as the Epic Vernacular. The four office buildings that make up Campus 2 arc along the edge of a prominent ridge, together with the existing auditorium and training center, the buildings form a large central park area used for strolling, recreation, and casual networking. Below this central park houses a four story underground parking garage.
The form of the buildings were derived with sustainable and human comfort initiatives in mind. Not only were the buildings designed to allow for natural daylight in offices, but all exterior wall offices are accompanied by operable windows. With these goals in mind, the plan began to develop as two wings connected by skyway, encompassing a smaller courtyard, which the interior offices look over. Each of the four buildings houses a top-hat conference room, which was a new addition to the program of an Epic office building, with the ability to hold much larger meetings within the office building proper, holding over 200 person meetings. These top-hats are perched up at the corner of each building delivering panoramic views of the natural landscapes and farmland which the client holds so near and dear to her heart. |
