Aero Long Beach
Across a campus approaching one million square feet, the spaces between the offices carry a lot of weight. At Aero Long Beach, SkB Architects reconsidered that shared experience through renovated lobbies, fitness and wellness spaces, outdoor amenities, and places to meet, work, or spend time outside. The improvements give the existing campus a clearer identity and make more of its Southern California setting, extending the working day beyond the individual office floor.
