GE Innovation Centre

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

The first of its kind for GE in North America, the GE Innovation Centre in Calgary leverages the company’s global expertise, industrial breadth, and technology to address challenges across the energy, healthcare, transportation and finance sectors.

To provide workspaces with access to state-of-the-art technology, focused on commercial innovation, GE asked Hornall Anderson to craft a narrative framework and experience strategy that would inform the Centre’s design and operationalization. The result was a plan filled with cutting-edge digital tools to facilitate energy-industry-redefining collaboration.

Once the vision was solidified, Hornall Anderson worked with Gensler architects through the design of the space and collaborated with Xibitz on crafting all the major environmental interactive installations and content experiences. Specifically, Xibitz produced and installed design elements and environmental graphics with rich design aesthetics and high-end materials – including The Voices of Canada Interactive Display Table which integrates three 32-inch touch screens.
