Envisioned as a glass jewel box, the structure is clad in a triple pane glass rainscreen curtain wall system that reflects the exterior conditions and context. Positioned between EMC’s eight story precast mid-rise headquarters building and their twenty story metal rainscreen high-rise, the new building compliments and connects the campus while holding its own on a prominent downtown corner.

This building represents the latest step in an evolution of materiality and building technologies realized over forty years by one client and one design firm through three buildings now interconnected on a full city block. Sitting on the corner of 8 th Street and Walnut Street, the building fulfills a twenty-year masterplan for the EMC urban corporate campus. In order to improve existing infrastructure and provide desired employee and business amenities, a four-story building was requested to adhere to their master plan and balance the existing campus buildings on this block.Ĭompleted in March 2017, this new four-story, 106,000 square foot office building for EMC Insurance connects the old and new of Downtown Des Moines. When EMC decided to expand their downtown Des Moines campus, they chose to continue their nearly 50 year relationship with BBS.
