Inari Agriculture

Inari Agriculture is a botany-focused research and development company with an emphasis on enhancing plants adaptability to diverse climate conditions. By 2018, with over 50 employees, they had outgrown their original headquarters and acquired a new location nearby. VIVO was brought in to provide comprehensive architectural planning services, with construction documentation and administration.

The VIVO team designed a state-of-the-art R&D lab with space for plant growth chambers and separate specialty labs. An expanded office area centers around a cluster of collaborative open offices with supporting conference, phone, and huddle rooms. Additionally, a new central staircase provides more direct internal access.

The facility also features a multi-purpose/multi-use functional area that can accommodate company-wide meetings of as many as 90 people with a theatre-style seating arrangement and an integrated AV system. With the help of adjustable partitions, the same area can quickly be broken down into separate conference rooms, each large enough for 16 to 26 people, and a fully functional break area with suitable sets of dining tables and chairs.
