Nasdaq

HOK’s design for this new office and trading floor reflects Nasdaq’s role as a fintech leader and improves its ability to recruit talented people from Philadelphia’s vibrant university and tech communities. This office supports Nasdaq’s commitment to the health and well-being of its people. The modern, industrial aesthetic serves as a counterpoint to Nasdaq’s tech-driven business. Biophilic design linking occupants to the natural world manifests itself in several ways throughout the space. The open-plan spaces fuel creativity and interaction. A variety of seating types and configurations support a range of work styles, with flexibility for different uses. Meeting rooms promote teamwork. Enclosed booths accommodate private conversations and offer spaces where people can withdraw and find refuge. As a prominent active design element, an internal stairway connecting all three floors encourages movement and spontaneous encounters.
