To accommodate a larger product line after an acquisition, The Toro Company expanded its research and development facility to create flexible assembly space and meet the future demands on the organization — all under a fast-track timeline. The project included the development of a new office building and corporate conference center, which temporarily relocated employees to allow for the subsequent expansion and renovation of the product development lab. The new office building advanced the Toro brand and provided employees with contemporary amenities such as dining, fitness, a green roof and outdoor spaces, while large movable window-wall sections in gallery spaces allowed for seamless movement of people and equipment.
