The Bell Global Headquarters Building is an impressive, modern five-story structure that serves as the anchor of Bell Helicopter's "Way Forward" consolidation and modernization program. It is located on the main campus of Bell, Fort Worth, Texas, occupying a prominent corner position. With a total area of 230,000 square feet, the building features a sleek and streamlined appearance, green building systems, materials that echo Bell's commitment to the environment, and cutting-edge technology that underscores the company's forward-thinking philosophy.
Upon entering the building, visitors are greeted by a grand lobby space that showcases custom art pieces depicting Bell's contribution to the aerospace industry. The lobby area is spacious and inviting and warmly welcomes all who enter.
The new headquarters is designed to be open and collaborative, with open office areas flanking a core of service spaces, conference rooms, and private offices. The building has large windows that allow natural light to flood the space, and daylighting strategies are employed to reduce energy consumption.
The headquarters also features a conference center with an adjacent kitchen, providing an activity center previously missing from the campus. The conference center is equipped with the latest audio-visual technology, making it an ideal space for meetings, presentations, and other events.
One of the critical features of the new headquarters is its data center, which enables Bell to adapt to future needs and advancements. The data center is equipped with the latest technology and is designed to be scalable, ensuring it can keep pace with the company's evolving needs.
Overall, the Bell Global Headquarters Building is a stunning and innovative structure that symbolizes the company's deep Texas roots while embodying its forward-thinking philosophy.
