Hearst s Global Headquarters

Hearst Tower is the Platinum LEED-certified international headquarters of Hearst, among the nation's biggest diversified media and info companies. The 46-story structure, which was created by renowned designer Norman Foster and opened in 2006, rises almost 600 feet above its landmark six-story base, the International Magazine Building, originally constructed by William Randolph Hearst in 1928. The outside of Hearst Tower boasts an innovative glass and steel diagrid design, which makes for a contemporary look that is unlike any other high-rise building in North America, and from leading to bottom the Tower has an emphasis on modern technology and sustainable design.
Hearst Tower is the first structure to receive a Gold LEED ranking for core and shell and interiors in New York City. In 2012, Hearst Tower made a Platinum LEED Rating for Existing Buildings, ending up being the first structure to get both Gold and Platinum accreditations.
The skyrocketing three-story atrium-- filled with the noise of cascading water from Icefall, a three-story toned water feature-- develops a sense of calm on a grand scale. The outside honeycomb of steel keeps the interior works area uncluttered by walls and pillars, hence developing outstanding views of the city from most vantages on the work floors. During the night, with its drastically angled panes of glass, Hearst Tower appears like a faceted jewel.
The varied properties of the Tower include: a broadcast newsroom run by Hearst Television; the Hearst App Lab, a media lab and interactive knowing center; a professional digital image studio, Studio D; a 9,000-square-foot physical fitness center and wellness center; the sleek cafe57; meeting and dining-room on the 44th flooring, with jailing views of New York City; and a state-of-the-art 165-seat theater.
