The environmental design strategy, developed and executed by the
internal Dolby design team, conceived of the global headquarters in San
Francisco as a working lab, a vertical village, and a place where art
meets science in inspiring ways.
"For our global headquarters, we wanted to create an environment that
celebrates our past and inspires our future," said
Vince Voron, Vice
President and Executive Creative Director, Dolby Laboratories. "Its
design embodies who we are and what we do, and it enables people to do
their best work."
Dolby's global headquarters, which occupies approximately 300,000 square
feet, is a state-of-the-art facility comprising more than 100
laboratories across 63,000 square feet and is designed to help catalyze
innovation in science, engineering, and production. These spaces include:
-
Labs for research into human perception, sensory immersion, and other
fields
-
Mixing rooms for work in Dolby Audio™ and Dolby Atmos®
sound, and in Dolby Vision™ imaging
-
A recording studio with a mixing room
-
Playback rooms for quality assurance, content review, and testing of
audio and visual technologies, including laser projection
-
Living rooms and small cinema rooms to mimic real-world contexts for
testing and research
-
Support rooms, including facilities for prototyping, fabrication, and
assembly
The new Dolby headquarters features artworks and new media
installations, commissioned from artists around the world, throughout
its workspaces. These pieces present creative approaches to perception,
highlight advances in Dolby engineering, and are meant to inspire future
innovations.
External and internal artists were given three principles to guide their
creations: celebrate Dolby's past, look toward the future, and reflect
on Dolby's globally diverse culture. Twenty artists created 36 pieces
and installations that explore sight and sound, and that are modern
interpretations of Dolby milestones, technologies, and historic
achievements.
