Modern Workspaces Enhance Corporate Culture, Attract a New Generation of Workers
OHM Advisors completed the facility site assessment and master plan for the global healthcare conglomerate’s 30-acre corporate campus in Dublin, Ohio years ago—and even back then, we were thinking about future expansion. When the company decided to add on, it already had a footprint allotted for a new $50 million, 250,000 sf office building. Once again it looked to us, challenging our architecture group to design a building that looks original, yet offers a modern work environment that engages employees and compels them to give 110% every day.
The new, LEED-certified building seamlessly integrates with the existing Cardinal Health campus, while design modifications to the exterior simplified construction, reduced costs, and minimized the building’s scale. The interior showcases a progressive workplace with informal meeting areas and non-traditional workspaces, small huddle areas, and integrated technology to encourage collaboration and create connectedness within the larger space. Convenience and lifestyle options—including a cafeteria, fitness facility, coffee shop, pharmacy, and credit union—further strengthen Cardinal Health’s commitment to employee well-being. The design implemented green building materials and maximized energy performance, and incorporated low impact stormwater management practices and walking paths to encourage alternative transportation. The innovative, environmentally-friendly result blends in while standing out.
Our team has since continued to help the company define its leading-edge workspace by reimagining the east lobby on the original campus, designing a new 5,744 sf addition for a Client Experience Center to welcome visitors, and creating a phase plan for the complete renovation and repositioning of the entire east campus to improve the workplace environment and employee engagement.

We want (employees) to use the entire building as their work area. It will encourage collaboration and creativity.
