The Food City Corporate Headquarters is a four-story office building and conference center complex located in Abington, Virginia, on the former site of Johnson Memorial Hospital. The building features a central atrium with a monumental staircase, an indoor water feature, contemporary open office spaces, a café, and a large conference center wing. The design honors the historic downtown while introducing modern elements with sophistication. The facility is a flagship for both the company and the community.
The main goal of the building was to foster collaboration among employees. Previously, the company was spread across four separate buildings, leading to a corporate culture of segmented and inefficient departments. The concept of the new building design centered around a central, public atrium space. This space serves as the central hub that unites all departments under one roof.
Conference rooms for each department are located adjacent to the atrium, offering direct views into the space. With the new structure, the entire company is housed in one facility, and the placement of spaces reinforces the new culture of efficiency and teamwork.
