Leidos · Reston, Virginia
Leidos hung a kaleidoscope over its front door — a nod to its own name — and stacked its Reston offices into a vertical campus.
The Reston headquarters designed by Gensler, what Leidos pays its 47,000 employees and what it offers them, and its start in 1969 — from Leidos's filings and the architect's project page.

THE HEADQUARTERS · 1750 PRESIDENTS STREET, RESTON
A kaleidoscope in the lobby
Leidos's global headquarters sits in a brand-new building in Reston. Visitors walk in under a large kaleidoscope by artist Davis McCarty — a nod to the company's name and to the way the floors were planned, using irregular shapes to bring order to a rectangular building. Gensler gave each of Leidos's five brand values — visionary, smart, approachable, authentic and pragmatic — an architectural form. Most of the space is for work. To make a "vertical campus", the designers cut openings between floors and built a series of two-storey community hubs, so teams on different floors can see and reach each other.
