To accomplish this, BMG formed a strategic collaboration to evaluate the existing work space. The consensus was that the existing office space could not support the new corporate objectives. However, demolishing the current structure and refurbishing would be more costly than the budget would allow. Alternate sites were considered, but low unemployment in the area meant that relocating the division would result in a projected 50 percent loss of staff. BMG found the solution in its adjacent warehouse.
Modular walls define space and can be easily altered or moved based on changing needs.
Four departments merged to enhance communication and share job responsibilities. Space devoted to each person was effectively condensed to accommodate more individual spaces and team areas. Variable ceiling heights created with bulkheads define areas and manage air handling systems and noise levels. Glass walls and transoms allow natural light to reach all areas. Combined with traditional architectural elements, including skylights, the empty warehouse was transformed from a dark, uncompromising structure to a beautiful, light-filled building.
