Completed in 2008, the World Headquarters for the International Fund for Animal Welfare creates a new 54,000sf home for this influential and dynamic global organization. The LEED-gold building integrates landscape and built form. Three simple, clean volumes are arranged around a reclaimed brownfield site, establishing a central gathering space reminiscent of a coastal drumlin or rural Cape Cod meadow. The building is designed to facilitate open communication, collaboration and interaction, while promoting the IFAW's global mission "to provide a better world for people and animals."
