Danish architecture firm CEBRA has just created the new LEGO Innovation Campus for the design team in Billund, Denmark. It features the largest library of LEGO pieces and is nestled just by the LEGO factories. The space can accommodate 1,700 staff and over 600 designers. It will also have the aforementioned library showing off 20,000 LEGO elements in 70 colors.
Lego Group vice president of workplace experience Line Ørnstrup told Dezeen, "The core concept behind the Lego Group's Innovation Campus was to create a world-class playful workplace that brings together the company's creative minds under one roof. The design focuses on fostering innovation, collaboration and imagination at every level. It's a space designed not just to work in, but to think, imagine, build, and evolve in – a playground for creative exploration."
