- 6. REFERENCES What our clientssay about us... 250,000 sf Master Plan, Phased Renovations 10,000 sf Employee Cafeteria Renovation and Design PSEG Nuclear, LLC Salem, NJ …this was an extensive restoration, involving some 250,000 square feet and directly affecting over 90% of the employees. It involved office, laboratory and cafeteria spaces. Her team was able to quickly determine the specific needs of the various work groups through direct employee interviews and space inspections. They then designed layouts using modern office and laboratory furnishings that met the workers needs, were easier to maintain, and if needed, simple to modify. They also developed a workable and efficient plan to roll through the work with minimum disruption to the employees daily work flow. The result was a more efficient, clean and functionally supportive work environment. In addition, Ann Hoffman's direct and frequent involvement with the development and delivery of design and engineering products helped ensure the project progressed as planned and completed on time and budget. I recommend her team without reservation. Stephen Bernasconi E-mail: steveberna@aol.com Phone: (610) 742-0284 ARK CREATIVES, Inc building for a better place
