Previously, consultants gave reports to administrative staff, who had to walk longer distances to the report production department. Report production has meeting facilities located adjacent to the space to facilitate the transfer of information from the consultant to report production staff. The result is a more efficient operation that makes better use of staff time. According to Jerman, impromptu meetings take place almost anywhere in the office. Consultants may see each other in a corridor and stop to discuss a project.
Consultants can efficiently hook up their laptop to review information with a co-worker.
The result is a space where work can take place virtually anywhere-no frustrating searches for a place to connect into the network. The materials selected to achieve the design are easy to maintain. According to Jerman, the client has great pride in their ownership of the space and is focused on maintaining its integrity. The office looks almost like the day of move in, a tribute to the care that is given to maintaining the company's investment and image. Perhaps the best accolade for the design comes from the client's employees.
