The natural wooded beauty of British Columbia inspired the Microsoft Canada Excellence Centre, located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver in a remodelled 142,000 square-foot former department store. It features the latest architectural designs with open wood-slatted ceiling planes with integrated light fixtures, a sculptural stairway that replaced an existing escalator and floor-to-ceiling views of the city and surrounding landscapes. Designed by Clive Wilkinson Architects, it boasts two 150-person multi-purpose community rooms, as well as open and closed collaboration spaces. It also has a maker space called the “Garage,” where employees can explore creative ideas for new projects.
