Located at Micron’s Manassas, Virginia campus, the Team Member Center was envisioned as a central hub for connection, creativity and care. Designed primarily as the campus cafeteria, the facility includes a mix of fitness, wellness, collaboration and social spaces to support a diverse and growing workforce.

Jacobs’ design team worked closely with Micron to help the space reflect the company’s values. The architecture emphasizes transparency and flow, with visual connections between departments and natural light guiding movement throughout the building.

Lighting and mass timber were key design features, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Awarded the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Illumination Award of Merit, the lighting strategy uses layered illumination to create zones for focus, relaxation and collaboration. The project also ranked first in the corporate design category for projects over 20,000 square feet at the 2025 Annual International Interior Design Awards' Visionary Interior Design Awards section. The mass-timber coffer structural system creates an iconic and warm space. Recognizing this unique design solution, the Delaware Valley Association of Structural Engineers awarded the facility with its 2024 Outstanding Design Award.

A workplace built for people

The Team Member Center represents a strategic investment in culture and talent. Jacobs worked with Micron to create a space that:

  • Supports employee wellbeing: Wellness and fitness rooms promote physical and mental health.
  • Fosters collaboration: Technology-enabled meeting rooms and spaces that reinforce serendipitous encounters encourage interaction and cross-functional teamwork.
  • Celebrates identity: Interior graphics, materials and spatial storytelling reflect Micron’s brand and heritage, creating a sense of pride and belonging.
  • Achieves lighting excellence: The IES-recognized lighting design enhances spatial quality, supports productivity and creates a cohesive environment.
  • Embodies sustainability: LEED Gold Certification, energy-efficient systems, low-VOC materials and smart controls reduce environmental impact.

Collaborative delivery from concept to completion.

Jacobs led the design and delivery in close coordination with Micron’s facilities and workplace strategy teams. The project was guided by a shared vision: to create a space where every team member feels valued, supported and inspired.

Key delivery highlights included:

  • Integrated design process: Architecture, interiors, lighting and complete engineering were developed together to maintain seamless coordination and performance.
  • Stakeholder engagement: Regular workshops and feedback sessions ensured the design met the needs of many user groups, from engineers to HR staff.
  • Attention to detail: From lighting and structural mock-ups, custom millwork and curated art installations, every element was chosen to elevate the experience and reflect Micron’s commitment to quality.

The Micron Team Member Center isn’t just a building, it’s a reflection of what matters most: people. By designing a space that empowers innovation and supports wellbeing, Jacobs helped Micron build what matters — for today and the future.
