Mastercard's NYC Tech Hub

Mastercard’s new 11-story, 214,000-square-foot tech hub in New York is a consolidation of Mastercard’s multiple NYC offices, designed to realize the client’s goal for a frictionless, inclusive, sophisticated, and forward-looking experience. The new workplace connects to the larger New York community, another project objective, through graphic references to the city and a high-tech aesthetic that creates a cohesive visual language, drawing on Mastercard’s new branding guidelines and color palette.

The experience begins at two lobbies, one for guests, the other for employees. A frictionless, digital guest reception on the 10^th floor, casual, with a hospitality feel, features a coffee bar with barista and a concierge equipped with iPad for check-in—as well as stunning views of the city through floor-to-ceiling windows. At the employee entrance, biometric turnstiles minimize the security presence, also part of Mastercard’s frictionless approach. The second-floor lounge and multipurpose room is used for all-hands meetings and converts to three rooms via folding walls.
