Electronic Arts (EA) Vancouver, one of the region's largest and oldest video game studios, required a rapid expansion solution after outgrowing its Burnaby headquarters. The project required a fast, flexible design solution capable of supporting both focused work and highly collaborative game-development activities. This need for additional office space in late 2020 led to the development of the EA Aurora facility. The project represents a strategic response to accommodate growing teams while enhancing workplace functionality and acoustic comfort.
