Agricultural machinery manufacturer Claas needed more space to provide research and implementation in its Omaha facility. The two-story expansion includes a variety of product research and development and office types to provide choice and diversity on-site and virtually, with an emphasis on streamlining operations.
The final design incorporates the entire Claas system, including the business aspects, promoting dynamic user engagement, meaningful trainer-trainee interaction, and accelerate innovation that responds to and anticipates emerging trends in agriculture, manufacturing, and distribution. Future expansion for additional training space was designed as well so Claas could budget for future lab/classroom space in the near future.
