PRODUCT DYNAMICS OFFICE

Product Dynamics is a company which provides market research and product testing.  This project was a three (3) story - 32,000 SF addition plus a renovation to their existing Orland Park facility.  The specific use of this facility resulted in many unique floor plan requirements.  The facility includes group and individual testing and interview rooms, which are adjacent to client viewing rooms.  The building circulation was designed so that the persons observing the tests and the test subjects did not cross paths. Separate corridors, lobbies, and toilet facilities were part of the design. In addition the facility includes a full commercial kitchen - designed to allow for various cooking equipment to be easily installed and removed based on the needs of a particular test.  The administration spaces are on the second floor (continuous windows) and the testing spaces are on the first floor (minimum windows).  The building's two story addition was designed to blend in with the existing one story building, while providing a new high tech image with a clear separate entry points for clients and testing volunteers.
