Case Study: Leidos achieves an innovative brand-forward global headquarters with Gensler

Leidos builds a vertical campus in a brand-new headquarters with Gensler

The customer, Leidos, required a new global headquarters that would physically embody its core brand identity and values while fostering innovation and breaking down internal silos. The vendor, Gensler, provided architecture and design services to create a space that would serve as an inspiring beacon for the scientific research company.

Gensler’s solution was to design a vertical campus within a new building, dedicating the majority of the space to collaborative work and displaying innovation. A key feature was the creation of two-story community hubs connected by slab openings to provide visual connectivity between floors and disrupt programmatic silos. The design successfully captured Leidos' five brand values, making the headquarters a vessel for promoting the company's global mission.
