Nokia found a single location in the San Francisco Bay Area to consolidate its five Northern California offices. The goal was to create a workplace for the future and center for excellence that would encourage creativity, innovation and collaboration among its employees.
The Nokia R&D Center for Excellence is in a five-story, 156,000-square-foot building in the Sunnyvale Town Center, in Sunnyvale, Calif. The fast-track project was successfully completed to meet the owner’s 14-week construction schedule, under budget. The space is highly secured, technical, flexible, state-of-the-art, energy efficient and seeking LEED Gold certification. San Jose- and San Francisco-based subcontractor California Drywall landed the bid for this important project, which included drywall, metal stud framing and finishing.
