Takeda Pharmaceuticals

As part of a major renovation planned for its 150,000-square-foot U.S. headquarters, Takeda sought to create a workplace experience that would communicate its culture, reinforce its mission, and reflect its global identity.

The project began with a strategic engagement of key stakeholders from across the organization. Through collaborative exercises and discussion, the team identified core brand attributes, cultural themes, and messaging priorities that would guide the design process. This foundation ensured that every communication within the workplace reflected a consistent story and supported Takeda’s broader organizational goals.

We exist to create better health for people and a brighter future for the world. While the science and technology we advance are constantly evolving, our ambition remains. We move science forward so we can transform more lives.”
— Takeda Vision Statement

From this framework, Altitude developed a comprehensive system of environmental graphics, architectural signage, digital experiences, and exhibits. Brand messaging, scientific innovation, company history, and employee culture were woven into each installation throughout the workplace, helping people understand Takeda’s purpose and the impact of its work.

The workplace was designed to inspire engagement and participation, and to serve employees, recruits, and visitors alike—communicating Takeda’s mission, highlighting its scientific achievements, and creating a stronger connection to the company’s values.

The result is a workplace that makes Takeda’s culture visible, creating a consistent experience that reinforces purpose, identity, and organizational pride.
