BMC Software, an independent software development company, began working with AECOM's architectural team over a decade ago. At the time, BMC sought to consolidate operations from various Houston leaseholds into a new suburban corporate campus. The primary goals included developing a planning strategy to accommodate growth while recognizing the unpredictability of the software industry. The solution was a flexible framework into which single or multiple buildings could be added as required over time. Over the span of a decade, four office buildings, a cafeteria, and three parking structures were built. The architecture of BMC’s buildings was based on a ubiquitous floor plate that allows maximum interior flexibility, while remaining appropriate for non-company users should BMC decide to sell or lease part of the property. The interior spaces continue the modern approach of the campus and site architecture, providing traditional executive and administrative spaces as well as areas for collaboration, casual meetings and recreation.
