United Therapeutics is a biotech company that develops innovative drug therapies with the core mission of saving lives. The company, has built an urban headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. When envisioning the third phase of their campus expansion, connecting their corporate mission to the building philosophy was paramount. The design of this building, named Unisphere, was informed by the organization’s belief that a company focused on saving lives must minimize its impact on the environment. As a result, Unisphere is designed to meet zero-net energy and carbon goals.
