Corptax, a corporate tax software company, needed to relocate over 170 employees to a new headquarters while minimizing costs and disruption. They worked with Evolution Interiors to refurbish and install Haworth furniture throughout their new 32,000 square foot space in multiple phases. This allowed for a seamless transition at a much lower price than new furniture. The refurbished Haworth Places systems provided an open floor plan with light and sound protection. Evolution also handled the disposal of 170 workstations from the old office. The project was a success that met Corptax's goals of saving money while embracing sustainability.

1. Case Study
Corptax, LLC.
Objective: As the most comprehensive,
integrated corporate tax software solutions provider in
the industry, Corptax made the choice to furnish the
majority of their new corporate headquarters with
refurbished products. This decision not only saved
tens of thousands of dollars, but also protected the
environment from unneeded furniture disposal.
Corptax’s main goal was to perform a multi floor move
with over one hundred and seventy employees and a
complete data center. The challenge was to have a
seamless transition and perform the move without
interrupting day-to-day business operations. In
addition, due to budgetary requirements, Corptax
needed a low cost solution that provided the software
programmers a quiet but esthetically pleasing space.
At the core of this was the need to embrace the natural
light so all the employees throughout the space could
appreciate the outside environment. Lastly, to close
out the project, Corptax needed to dispose one
hundred and seventy SC 9000 stations. This
presented Corptax with two additional challenges.
First, how to maximize the value of the product; and
second, how to ensure the furniture was reused and
reintroduced into the marketplace to further protect the
environment.

a multiphase fashion to meet the move schedule.
Why the furniture worked: Evolution Interiors (EI)
provided refurbished Haworth Places panel systems in
a multiphase fashion to meet the move schedule.
Each phase was delivered and installed as directed by
the project management team. The 32,000 sq. ft
facility utilizes Haworth Places multi-height and clear
glass open plan systems. Corptax’s new floor plan
has an open and accessible feel, which allows for the
transfer of light, but also protects the interior acoustics
of each workstation.
Why Evolution?
“ROE- Evolution provided a turnkey solution
from the decommissioning of our old furniture to
the installation of the new furniture. The
aesthetics of the refurbished products exceeded
our expectations and had a like new quality.”
