A new world-class research and development headquarters for CJ Corporation repositions the company’s operations into a new interdisciplinary format that will increase efficiency, enhance innovation, and accelerate speed to market. Conceived as “The Only One,” this unique 1.2 million sf building consolidates CJ Corporation’s previously disparate pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food products businesses into a single location, enabling it to create industry-defining product strategies and increase its global competitiveness.The design is founded on the "new scientific workplace" concept - a radical design approach pioneered by Cannon Design that replaces old-fashioned laboratory planning ideas with integrated innovation strategies to create dynamic, boundaryless environments that increase productivity, efficiency, and creativity. "The Only One" co-locates the full spectrum of research and development facilities in three high-rise towers arranged around a dynamic central atrium, with a café bar, meeting rooms, and laboratory spaces at each level.
