SAN DIEGO—Technologically savvy users desire such features as open ceilings, exposed K-bar wall braces and a social break area, which are all a part of the newly completed Experian DataLabs office here, Ware Malcomb's principal, interior architecture and design Ted Heisler tells GlobeSt.com. The firm's Irvine, CA-based team recently provided interior architecture and design services a new innovative workplace for Experian located at 12680 High Bluff Dr. here, which is now completed.

The 10,000-square foot office for Experian, a global-information-services group, was designed to integrate the company's corporate culture into the environment and create an innovative workplace to enhance both creative thought and detailed analytical work. Providing collaborative, social, and customer-facing interactive spaces were key in the design of the new office environment. DataLabs is a unique group within Experian which helps businesses solve strategic marketing and risk-management problems through an advanced data analysis process, research and development.

According to Heisler, the office design incorporated a technologically oriented work environment to emphasize the distinct nature of the DataLabs group. “Relocating to a larger office space was a must, but Experian also took this opportunity to create a custom, branded work environment that reflects the Experian corporate culture.” The general contractor for the project in San Diego was Bycor General Contractors.
