Architectural Walking Tour: dōTERRA

Walk the dōTERRA campus with the project team to explore the stonework, engineering, challenges, and lessons behind its evolution.
About this Event

Join the project team for an exclusive behind-the-scenes architectural walking tour of the dōTERRA corporate campus, exploring the craftsmanship, engineering, and collaboration behind more than 200,000 square feet of natural stonework.

Developed across multiple phases, the campus offers a unique opportunity to see how design decisions, installation methods, and lessons learned evolved over time. Attendees will walk the site alongside members of the project team and hear firsthand what worked, what created challenges, and how those experiences influenced later phases of the project.

From the complex geometry of the signature oval building and early use of a large-scale rainscreen system to traditional landscape walls, natural stone color variation, and evolving installation details, the tour will provide a candid look at how architectural vision becomes built reality.

Tour topics

• Complex stone geometry and fabrication
• Rainscreen systems and long-term performance
• Natural stone color variation and expectation-setting
• Traditional masonry and retaining wall construction
• Design intent vs. field conditions
• Lessons learned across multiple project phases
• Collaboration between owner, architect, contractor, fabricator, quarry, and mason
