Montréal-based audiovisual company, Attraction, moved into its new 4924 m2 (53,000 sf) collaborative workspace. Previously divided by two different floors, they left their closed offices behind to join together in a shared single floor space.
The online retail boom (and the corresponding change in consumer delivery time expectations) has forced warehouses, distribution centres, and production facilities to operate at an ever-increasing pace. Fortunately, recent technological improvements in supply chain equipment have allowed industrial facilities to keep up with this demand, while maintaining safety and efficiency.
In addition to illuminating office spaces with high quality and energy efficient light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires, connected lighting with Power over Ethernet (PoE) collects data to inform owners of maintenance requests, occupancy trends, and requests for temperature control.
Many classrooms have abandoned the traditional eyes-front configuration to create more opportunities for collaborative learning. Design professionals must now evaluate multiple options to optimize their design while working with tight facility budgets.
