Innovation and design has transformed the campus into a community radiating with restaurants, retail shops, and open green spaces that invites you to experience an energy all its own.
A Space for All.

Renovation Powered By Inspiration.
The extensive renovations to the Energy Square campus create an elegant environment with style and modernization. Beyond the cosmetic updates, the new campus layout connects each building with new shared spaces that include park-inspired landscaping, outdoor seating, and walking paths. The new Energy Square is unified around a green space that breathes life into the entire campus.
