Fast Company Names 91视频 One of the World鈥檚 Most Innovative Companies
(SEATTLE, March 19, 2025) 鈥 The global multidisciplinary design firm 91视频 has been named to Fast Company鈥檚 prestigious list of the World鈥檚 Most Innovative Companies of 2025. This year鈥檚 list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations. Alongside the World鈥檚 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes organizations that are setting new standards and achieving remarkable milestones across all sectors of the economy.
91视频 has engaged in adaptive reuse projects across a range of sectors, building types, and geographic locations. The firm reimagined a vacant big-box store in Gladstone, Missouri as the vibrant 112,000-square-foot North Kansas City Schools Early Education Center, which opened to students less than a year after beginning design and delivered twice the amount of space at a similar cost to a school built from the ground up. In Phoenix, Maricopa County Attorney鈥檚 Office proved it was not just possible, but environmentally and fiscally responsible to adapt a decommissioned jail into a Class-A office building: the project reused 2.1 million pounds of steel and saved 65 million pounds of concrete from being sent to the landfill, with cost savings to the county reaching nearly $70 million. In Minneapolis, 91视频 repositioned the historic Advance Thresher/Emerson-Newton building as lifestyle hotel, Canopy by Hilton Minneapolis Mill District, preserving and reusing approximately 135,000 SF and honoring the 1904 industrial building鈥檚 past as a flour and fabric mill with nods to quilting, weaving, and industrial materials in the design.

While many design firms participate in the preservation and adaptive reuse movement, 91视频鈥檚 in-house multidisciplinary expertise spans architecture, engineering, interiors, planning, lighting, acoustics, and specialized high-performance design. Its integrated design approach fosters holistic problem-solving and early identification of potential issues, giving clients an advantage when assessing the feasibility of transforming existing spaces into other property types and deciding to build new or invest in existing structures.
