Aldi Corporate Headquarters

A 67,250 sf expansion of the US Corporate Headquarters campus for Aldi. The program for the addition was to accommodate the space needs of the Corporate Purchasing Group including offices, workstations, conference rooms, sampling kitchen, supplier meeting rooms and support spaces. The space in the existing building was then reallocated between the Corporate Administrative offices and the Batavia Divisional offices. The exterior of the addition was designed to complement the architectural vocabulary of the existing buildings while providing a new clearly identifiable main entrance.  The interior space takes orientation and view into account, as the corporate complex surrounds a landscaped courtyard.  The interior of the new lobby features granite flooring with classic finishes to suggest a timeless, elegant corporate identity. A new two-story glass lobby functions as a link between the existing building and the similarly scaled addition.  The addition is rotated 90° to the existing building with both framing a new landscaped courtyard visible through the glass lobby. The owner required that the addition blend seamlessly with the existing campus.
