Background
MTS Allstream is a business communications provider based in downtown Toronto. They wanted to reconfigure their office space with a fresh new look and modern design to encourage creativity and collaboration.
Challenge
MTS Allstream was looking to modernize their existing workspace by creating a more inviting work environment for employees. MTS wanted to update 177 workstations with a design that would provide privacy while enabling natural sunlight to filter in. The new design also needed to foster group work as well as allow for meeting spaces and private offices while isolating sound. The completed space needed to be open and inviting to employees and customers alike, all while meeting deadlines and budget.
Solution
Envirotech’s design team created a bright new open-floor plan using remanufactured Haworth PREMISE products with 48” high panels. Allstream’s corporate colours were also incorporated for a fresh, clean look.
To provide additional workspace, Envirotech suggested creating smaller telephone rooms and un-bookable meeting rooms in the centre of the space, giving employees a choice of workspace to make phone calls, enjoy added privacy or hold meetings without disturbing coworkers.
Impact
Envirotech designed a functional and impactful office space that created the bright, airy look Allstream wanted while maintaining employees’ privacy. Envirotech further exceeded expectations when the revised designs met the limited budget and tight deadlines.
