Heifer International World Headquarters
Little Rock, Arkansas, USA
Heifer International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to relieving global hunger and poverty, needed a larger headquarters and wanted the project to minimize the use of earth’s resources. Heifer identified a long-abandoned railroad yard in the city’s old warehouse district and decided to transform it to suit their needs.
The building’s design captured every opportunity to achieve LEED® points and reflect the overall mission. The combination of the building’s narrow floor plate and the curtain wall allows natural light to penetrate to the center of every floor, while strategic interior glazing continues the indoor/outdoor aesthetic and keeps individual offices bright and open.
