LOTH provides workspace solutions for major changes
When engineering firm Dynamix decided to renovate a promising space for their growing company, they chose to partner with LOTH, Inc. in Columbus for space planning, furniture specification, and finish selection.
Challenge:
- employees’ unique requirements: create a custom solution for workstations to accommodate the employees’ unique requirements
- sustainable solutions: required in Dynamix’s quest for Gold LEED certification
- provide a functional workspace: company representatives concerned about effects on privacy and noise levels, as well as attracting new talent and retaining an incredible research team
Strategy:
- observe work patterns to uncover trends: what is needed to accomplish specific tasks
- analyze collaboration needs: analyze how groups interact with other departments and what constitutes collaboration among teams
- maximize footprint: maximize a smaller real estate footprint
Solution:
- better worksurfaces and storage: created deep worksurfaces for layout space and rolled drawing storage
- more workstation options and easy to use: workstations with user-friendly worktools
- allow for better lighting: avoided using solid walls that block the light
- utilized LOTH’s service capabilities: for liquidation and move management
Result:
- positive response from employees and clients: a space that gains positive comments from employees and interest from clients
- collaborative interaction: environment supports collaborative interaction within an open-plan setting
- space maximized: maximizes a smaller real estate footprint
- an open environment that uses the natural light: the space has windows around the perimeter and skylights, reducing the need for blanket overhead lighting
