Case Study: Glenmede achieves a modern, flexible financial workplace with Gensler

Glenmede reimagines a 3-story headquarters with Gensler

Glenmede, a boutique wealth management firm, faced the challenge of modernizing its Philadelphia headquarters to attract top talent, embrace hybrid work, and deliver meaningful client experiences while still honoring its heritage. To achieve this balance of tradition and innovation, the firm partnered with the design firm Gensler for a workplace transformation.

Gensler's solution was to create a modern, agile workplace inspired by the nearby Schuylkill River. The design included a multi-floor atrium, a striking marble stair, flexible workspaces, and curated amenities like a barista bar and a recording studio. The impact was a headquarters that strengthens Glenmede's legacy while fostering collaboration, flexibility, and innovation. This dynamic environment successfully positions the firm for the future, attracting talent and reinforcing its deep roots in Philadelphia.
