SAN DIEGO—Gensler’s new space in San Diego features a large “urban living” that doubles as an event space, a VR room for sharing virtual-reality project presentations and a private roof deck overlooking Horton Plaza Park, Kevin Heinly tells GlobeSt.com.

Kevin Heinly Heinly: “While Gensler has always held organizational performance, sustainability and aesthetic appeal as strong drivers of workplace design, in our new space we really wanted to set aspirational goals in addition to pushing performance around health and wellness.”

SAN DIEGO—Gensler’s new space in San Diego features a large “urban living” that doubles as an event space, a VR room for sharing virtual-reality project presentations and a private roof deck overlooking Horton Plaza Park, the firm’s principal and managing director Kevin Heinly tells GlobeSt.com. The firm recently moved from its offices on the 16th floor of the 225 Broadway building in Downtown San Diego into 21,000 square feet of office space on the ground and second floors of the building, space formerly occupied by TV station NBC7.
