Designer & Design Concept: Great efforts were made in planning the interior design of Al-Midra to ensure it provided a sustainable office environment. Employees will enjoy the efficiency in space planning, high-quality materials and an ergonomic design that allows personnel to feel comfortable and safe in every aspect of their workplace. The services center contains a gymnasium for women, while the nearby multi-purpose facility, which is also part of the Al-Midra Complex, has a gymnasium for men, so that everyone has a convenient place for exercise before or after work. The multi-purpose facility also houses a 500-seat auditorium and multi-purpose room. The auditorium is world-class and can be used for meetings, presentations and conventions.

Critical Opinion: Elevators: The 16 elevators in the office tower are controlled by a group control system that maximizes efficiency and gets passengers to their destinations faster with less crowding. Solar shaded parking: Revolutionary new technology uses solar panels, doubling as sunshades over the 4,500 parking spaces, to supply 10 megawatts of energy. Reflective exterior glass: Reflective, low-emissivity glass on Al-Midra Tower’s exterior, together with the silver aluminum cladding, provides internal thermal control. CO2 sensors: CO2 sensors measure carbon dioxide levels and monitor indoor air quality. This enables fresh-air intake tailored to the needs of the occupants.
