Sloan and Carlson worked on programming for the space with Sprint's Real Estate Division. "We also worked very early in the process with the architects to lay out the buildings and design the corporate courtyards based on land forms," David explains. "For example, the Assembly Courtyard's amphitheater is located in an area where the land is naturally sloped. And in the Relaxation Courtyard we created a series of berms and earthworks with tree arrangements that pick up on the building modules and the column spacing."

Parking garages surround the perimeter of the Sprint campus, with pedestrian-friendly fountain courts, plazas and open spaces within. "These spaces were designed to be totally usable," David says. "Kevin and I had simple ideas for making spaces with basic materials that were not over-designed. The spaces didn't tell you what you had to do in them, even though we had ideas for how we thought they could be used."
