Vera Bradley Design Center
Fort Wayne, Indiana
As Vera Bradley grew, the company opened several small offices over time for new departments throughout Fort Wayne. This strategy was no longer manageable, and the company needed to consolidate its design, marketing, and administrative offices to its south Fort Wayne campus.
The new 189,000 SF design center combines three buildings into a single, cohesive collaborative facility.

It was a lot of input and a lot of ideas from a lot of people, but I know that it worked very well. There’s not one thing that I would say, ‘Darn, we should have done that differently.’
Barbara Baekgaard, Co-Founder
Vera Bradley, Inc.
Accommodating a wide range of creative and administrative functions under one roof, the design center houses a mock retail store, photography labs, and a conference center. With employee wellbeing in mind, amenities such as a fitness center, full-service kitchen, and patio dining were important talent attraction and retention elements. |
