    Within the office space, a variety of workspaces, meeting rooms, and communal areas foster collaboration and innovation. Key amenity spaces prioritize employee wellness and productivity, from the expansive fitness center to the Mothers’ Room, café, and health clinic.

    Externally, the facility stands as a beacon of modernity and efficiency. Panelized precast concrete juxtaposed with expansive storefront and curtain wall window systems evoke a sense of innovation and dynamism. The rhythmic fenestration of the office and lobby areas invites abundant natural light and views, while energy efficient, low-e insulated glass helps control heat gain and manages energy consumption and operational costs.

    Located within the Miami Valley Research Park in Beavercreek, Ohio – a suburb of Dayton – the facility emerges as a nexus of ingenuity and possibility. Manufacturing operations focus on engine components and mechanical systems for civil, military aviation, and aero derivative applications.

    Within the reimagined walls of the R2X Corporate Headquarters, a sanctuary for employee well-being blossoms, weaving together elements of fitness, nourishment, and camaraderie. Rooted in the belief that a thriving workforce is the cornerstone of success, R2X’s commitment to holistic wellness permeates every corner of the space, fostering a culture of vitality and connection.

    A state-of-the-art fitness center is thoughtfully curated to inspire movement and mindfulness.

    Adjacent to the fitness center, a culinary oasis awaits, where healthy food options abound, and nourishment takes center stage. Planned chef lunches, served with a side of camaraderie and conversation, transform mealtime into a communal experience, fostering connections that transcend the confines of the dining table.

    But perhaps the true magic of the Players’ Lounge lies in its ability to bring the R2X community together, forging bonds that extend beyond the confines of the office. Whether it’s a casual chat over coffee, a team-building exercise, or a wellness workshop, the Players’ Lounge serves as a catalyst for connection, unity, and growth.

    Amidst the sleek lines and bustling activity of the R2X Corporate Headquarters, a gentle giant roams the halls, his presence a source of comfort and joy for all who cross his path. Meet Hank, Joel’s beloved Great Dane, whose wagging tail and soulful eyes bring an extra dose of warmth to the vibrant culture of R2X.

    As you wander through the halls of the R2X Headquarters, you can’t help but feel a sense of reverence for the building’s storied past and a deep appreciation for the vibrant, dynamic space it has become. Here, against a backdrop of history and heritage, colors collide, and light dances, creating a space that is as rich and multifaceted as the community it serves.

    Due to plans for a YMCA addition to the building, a temporary reception desk was installed. The large glass wall shown above would later become an entryway for the YMCA. With careful planning, the addition of the YMCA coordinated seamlessly with the Aquatic Center.

    Westfield High School’s 25-meter pool was originally built in 1997. As enrollment increased over time, the facility could no longer accommodate the growing needs of the student body. With the completion of the new Aquatic Center, the original high school pool become obsolete. It was subsequently filled in, and the space was repurposed as a wellness center — also designed by CSO.

    In the cafeteria, replacing long, foldable tables with round tables has transformed the space into a more intimate, family-style setting. This change encourages quieter, more focused conversations and allows students across different grade levels to interact. The removal of a stage made room for additional windows, enhancing natural light and reinforcing a connection to the outdoors—something the original design lacked at eye level.

    Columbus, Indiana is world-renowned for its modern architecture. One of the most notable schools, Parkside Elementary, was designed by Norman C. Fletcher of The Architects Collaborative (TAC) in 1962. CSO’s renovations honor Fletcher’s unique Arts and Crafts (Bauhaus) style that incorporated clean lines, abundant natural daylighting, geometric shapes, and use of wood beaming and decking.

    The building design presents a transparent, flexible concept that allows for current and future needs of the programs housed within. The building’s prominent location creates an ideal venue for an outdoor seating and interaction area adjacent to the indoor café.

Included in the design are teaching spaces, faculty areas, research labs, and wellness-related areas for the physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, kinesiology, and psychology programs.
