COFACTOR Genomics' new HQ in CORTEX

COFACTOR IS A NEXT-GENERATION GENOMICS COMPANY.

OUR CLIENTS ARE PROFESSIONALS THAT DEMAND RESULTS AS OPPOSED TO JUST DATA.

Our team of experts boasts decades of collective experience working in the Technology Development Group at the Genome Center at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. We work with some of the largest life-science, pharmaceutical, agriculture, and biofuels companies in the world. All of our clients benefit from the constant feedback process of “build, measure, learn” that is ingrained at Cofactor.
COFACTOR'S adaptive reuse of a 1956, 10,000 square foot, mid-century flex office building was transformed by ARCTURIS and Musick Construction.  

In planning Cofactor's new space, we wanted to have something cost effective with a very creative, high end result. We wanted a headquarters building that would stand out among our competition by emphasizing Cofactor’s unique brand and focus on customer service use this to attract great talent and interesting clients while engaging their current employees.

It was important to us to create an bright, inspiring, and fun atmosphere that supports our scientific work, while costing less than the company was paying to rent previous locations.

To accomplish this, our architect Arcturis came up with innovative solutions:

o   The existing building functioned as an office space and fabrication warehouse that did not allow natural light to penetrate the space.  Arcturis removed most of the building’s interior walls and strategically located glass to reduce the need for artificial light while maintaining a tight construction budget.  

o   To help keep the project in budget as well as focus on local businesses, Cofactor and Arcturis used local artisans like Davlan Engineering, who fabricated furniture and signage for the space

o   Workspaces are configurable to meet changing workflow and allow for future large group seminars and training: desks are on casters and completely mobile; power for workstations is dropped from the ceiling on spooled wiring so that it can reach anywhere; a large, glass garage door can be opened to expand the space and let in even more light.

o   Arcturis and Cofactor Genomics worked together to add creative touches such as a breakout huddle space near the entry made up of repurposed ski gondolas.  A custom-designed chalkboard wall was created by a local artist to enhance the entry of the space.
