L’Oréal USA just opened a state-of-the-art creative campus in El Segundo, CA, its second American headquarters. The location brings together the West Coast brands—NYX Professional Makeup, Pulp Riot, Urban Decay and Youth to the People— all of which were previously based in different locations. The new headquarters is also home to L'Oréal's first-ever west coast-based Professional Products Academy, offering world-class education and connection to the professional beauty community in Los Angeles and across the country.
Developed by LA landlord Hackman Capital Partners with architecture led by interior design studio Blitz, the headquarters features 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor workspaces designed to the highest sustainability standards on a 25-acre park-like campus transformed from an aerospace manufacturing site.
The entirety of L’Oréal’s El Segundo campus has been designed to foster the future of the workplace and support employee health and wellness. Since 2020, L’Oréal has adhered to a permanent hybrid work model that seeks to balance the best of working at home and in the office, allowing eligible employees to work 40 percent of their time (two days per week) remotely each week. Central to this hybrid structure is the understanding that the office must provide benefits, tools, opportunities and amenities that cannot be replicated at home.
Features of L’Oréal USA’s El Segundo headquarters include:
· Expansive, indoor and outdoor networking and collaboration spaces
· Flexible, bookable, indoor and outdoor personal workspaces
· High-speed IT capabilities
· Indoor and outdoor on-site dining and catering options, operated by Wolfgang Puck
· On-site health and wellness spaces, including a Mind & Movement exercise studio, wellness rooms, and Mothers’ Suites
· A dog-friendly office environment
· A L’Oréal company store that features products across its portfolio of brands
L'Oréal USA's second headquarters complements the company's main headquarters, located on the west side of Manhattan in the newly developed Hudson Yards neighborhood, which opened in June 2016.
