Visitors are welcomed, with coffee and doughnuts, to the new two story lobby space connected by a circular stainless steel stair and waterfall, emulating the iconic production line where the doughnuts are bathed in the hot glaze. A custom display in the lobby traces the rich history of the 75+ year old company, and leads to a colorful common break area that doubles as a meeting space.
The updated work areas and meeting rooms are even “glazed” with glass walls and “frosted” with a gradient dot film that provides privacy while still allowing natural light into the building center. Employee beverage stations on each floor are encircled with a vibrant nod to the HOT NOW sign that fans recognize worldwide.
