ExxonMobil Corporate Campus

Located on a 385-acre wooded area, the new ExxonMobil campus was designed to support 10,000 employees. Following extensive research of the world’s premiere facilities, this state-of-the-art campus was designed to enhance employee collaboration, innovation, and well-being. The large campus comprises 14 low-rise office buildings, parking garages, a laboratory, a wellness center, a childcare center, and other employee amenities, all connected by utility tunnels to provide campus energy and communications. The iconic Energy Center, 10,000-ton floating cube that appears to hover over a plaza below, serves as the gateway to the campus. 

A 2.6-acre Commons Quad at the center of the campus serves as a circulation path, as well as an open space for large events and outdoor meetings. Four 90-foot-wide landscaped promenades branching out from the central quad in each cardinal direction give form to pedestrian movements and stormwater conveyance. A two-mile ring road around the campus provides access to parking, while separating buildings and pedestrian areas. Ample trails and pathways allow all buildings to be no more than a seven-minute walk from each other.

Sustainability was a top priority in the design of the campus which obtained LEED Gold certification. Measures to conserve natural resources included the preservation of mature trees on the site and planting of native species in place of invasive species. Water use was reduced by more than 80 percent compared similar size development through reuse. The water reuse system includes water capture in two lakes that are connected to a non-potable water supply system. The water reuse system balances the lake levels and pressurizes the non-potable system to provide water for the cooling tower, campus irrigation, fountains, wash down of service areas, and fire protection. The lakes serve as a site amenity and offer other benefits, such as storm water detention and floodplain mitigation.
