Project Overview
CMA required a facility to not only house their ongoing operations but to support the expansion of training and development for the members of their organization.
Project Objectives
Brand the new space to be a reflection of CMA: innovative, contemporary, professional and a top employer with a great work environment. Create a state-of-the-art work space utilizing the building’s LEED certified infrastructure. Support the expansion of member and staff training and development.
The Solution
- Using Scala, a contemporary office system with ultra clean lines from Inscape, highly efficient work stations were created.
- New Planna private offices from Inscape measuring 7’6” x 7’6” provide users with more work surface and storage options than CMA’s previous 120 square foot offices.
- Flexible training and meeting facility which can morph to house multiple sizes and styles of meetings and classroom environments.
- Green features included: Advanced raised floor system with integrated under-floor HVAC;
Day-light controls which dim or brighten light based on the availability of sunshine; Occupancy sensors in all rooms to control lights; Deep lake water based building system for cooling the space; Floor to ceiling glass at perimeter of building.
Benefits
- New office environment brands CMA as a creative place to work and do business.
- In keeping with CMA’s “value creation” mission, its new home has provided significant real estate savings.
