The Historic Building at Salesforce Dublin was originally a hotel built by the London and North-Western Railway Company in 1883. The goal of this project was to sensitively renovate the building back to life for public-facing events and meetings as well as a mix of quiet work areas and social lounges for employees. To make all floors wheelchair-accessible, an elevator was carefully shoe-horned into the west wing and two bridges added to connect it to the east wing. The former hotel rooms on the upper levels were thoughtfully sized and repurposed as meeting rooms, work areas, and lounges.
