RTG Medical is a thriving organization whose maxim – “people are our only asset” – has resulted in multiple “best place to work” awards. Their new corporate headquarters embraces this mantra, physically manifesting a deeply rooted culture where employees and the medical professionals they serve are always finding their new adventure. Dynamic energy is represented in the building’s white cladding, which captures reflections from the sun and water, while contemplative rest is represented in contrasting dark material that roots and grounds.

South-facing overhangs and sunshades manipulate light and shadow to optimize employee’s access to daylight, minimize glare, and provide protection from the harsh light of the summer solstice. Outside, a multi-modal path connects to the lakefront, and inside, fitness, yoga studios, and refresh zones support energizing movement or relaxing restoration. Since RTG teams’ work reaches across the nation, each interior area reflects a different geographic experience from coasts to peaks and cities. Acknowledging the company’s success and projections, the office allows for strategic growth of 30-to-40% in a short time.
