| The new $150 million Reinsurance Group of America (RGA) global headquarters, opening this month in Chesterfield, Missouri, is designed for expansion and a smooth workforce transition from baby boomers to millennials.
“There is nothing like this building on the I-64 corridor or anywhere in Missouri,” said Bob Dunn of Fox Architects. The 405,000-square-foot stone, glass and steel headquarters building is the largest project in the St. Louis region since Centene Plaza was completed in 2010, and the largest local headquarters project in at least 20 years. The complex includes 580,000-square feet of parking. Fox Architects designed the interiors and was RGA’s consultant to international architectural firm Gensler on design of the core and shell. Fox Architects has worked with RGA for more than 20 years. The headquarters’ two five-story towers are linked by a two-story atrium lobby and amenities bar, which features 10,000 square feet of training facilities; a 7,500-square-foot fitness center; a 20,000-square-foot café, kitchen and barista; and a 500-seat cafeteria that can function as a 700-seat auditorium. Built on a 17-acre site, the complex will accommodate RGA’s workforce expansion over the next several years, and is master planned to include a third building for long-term growth.
