Renovation of CIGNA's corporate campus involved interior architectural modifications to the Wilde Building, a significant architectural masterpiece of suburban office park architecture. This extensive project required reconfiguration, reprogramming and fit-out of the facilities to accommodate 4,500 employees while respecting the structure’s historic significance. New furniture, lighting, acoustic ceiling systems and finishes were implemented, while colors, branding, landmarks, icons, sign design and numbering configurations further serve to reclaim this building’s architectural prowess.
