Under Armour Global Headquarters
This stadium esque mass timber corporate headquarters combines functionality, aesthetics and sustainability, encompassing the owner’s core mission.
Overview
Adjacent to the Baltimore waterfront, Under Armour’s new mass timber corporate headquarters will feature collaborative hybrid spaces, a flagship retail store and state-of-the-art sports facilities. The campus includes pedestrian pathways throughout and along the waterfront.
We provided structural design services to Gensler to design this one-of-a-kind facility that is set to achieve net-zero operations and other significant sustainability goals.
Highlights
- The inclusion of mass timber permitted the use of shallow foundation systems yielding significant construction savings on the project.
- The building features architecturally exposed timber and concealed timber connections.
- A 30-foot square bay module uses cross-laminated timber decks along with glulam beams and columns.
- The structure supports a steel-framed PV canopy above the building, free standing site PV canopies and a secondary exoskeleton ETFE façade system.
