Multiquip Inc.

Multiquip's corporate expansion led to a disorganized office layout and reduced productivity. To address this, Caliber and DRA Architects revamped the space, creating a unified, creative, and functional environment. The new L-shaped structure features collaboration spaces, a work café, video conference rooms, and a boardroom, fostering face-to-face interaction and boosting team spirit.

Collaborative spaces that encourage interdepartmental productivity now include:

  • The work café with varied seating for differing tasks and events (bench seating, counter seating, and wing-backed chairs) supported by two phone rooms off to each side to serve as small meeting areas and space for private calls.

  • Video conference rooms separate from the board room along with

  • Several small non-video conference spaces that host multiple types of seating and furniture to support differing tasks

  • While the office space was reduced from 36,000 sq. ft. to 32,000 sq. ft., the elimination of duplicate facilities (reception areas and bathroom clusters) and wasted space

  • The elimination of multiple floors and multiple buildings in a single unified space created unity in the team and connected team members who had avoided face-to-face interactions because of the logistics and physical distance between departments
