Designing for People and Planet at Wells Fargo’s Net-Positive Headquarters
While early corporate campus sustainability efforts focused on reducing energy and water use, advancements in technology and expertise have made it possible for even large developments to be net-zero — and to make net-positive feasible. A project that is a shining example of that shift is Wells Fargo’s new corporate campus in Irving, Texas. Wells Fargo aimed beyond typical sustainability targets and created the largest net-positive corporate campus in the United States.
For the 850,000 square-foot Wells Fargo campus, achieving net-positive required integrating a sustainable lens into every decision in the design process, from site analysis to finish selection. Close collaboration and exhaustive attention to detail allowed the team to not only meet their ambitious environmental goals but also create a workplace that supports employee well-being and aligns with the values of a modern workforce.
