Challenge
Given the rapid and continuous advancements in oil and gas technologies, Baker Hughes needed an integrated training facility to equip its personnel and customers with the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary for delivering its products and services. It also needed a space to promote cross-disciplinary research and collaboration as well as a place for major corporate meetings and activities.

Energy Architecture designed a multi-building training campus to provide employees and customers across the Western Hemisphere with product line specific technical training; Health, Safety & Environment training; leadership, business, and management skills development.
