Atrium building study
The CIGNA design team was faced with creating a new 500,000 square foot office building on a pastoral 610 acre corporate campus in Bloomfield, Connecticut, just outside of Hartford. Challenges abounded during the design process, from the selection of a specific building site on the sprawling campus to the evolution of a building form incorporating an atrium, to the selection of building systems and materials, to the design to the office interiors and atrium landscape. This document summarizes the original design problem, focusing on design criteria and performance standards that led to the decision to design an atrium building as well as decision concerning its function, its form, its building systems and materials, and its passive energy strategies.
