The Lawrence D. Bell Employee Center is an impressive and functional building designed to accommodate the needs of Bell Helicopter's employees. This state-of-the-art facility, located at the Bell Helicopter Headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas, replaces the outdated cafeteria that previously served the campus.
The building's completion and design signify the start of a new era for the campus, which aims to reflect the company's core mission of technological advancement and engineering excellence. The Lawrence D. Bell Employee Center comprises several vital features, including a dining hall, food court, and company store, all interconnected by a central corridor. This corridor is a hub for employees to gather, socialize, and connect.
The main dining hall is a versatile and multifaceted space that boasts double-volume ceilings, clerestory windows, and soaring columns, creating an impressive and spacious environment for employees. With its hangar-like quality and grand scale, the dining hall can quickly transform into a dining area, reception space, or town hall venue, making it a highly adaptable and functional space for various events and occasions.
