1. Southside Ops Center
Project Location: Atlanta, GA
Project Type: Interior Renovation
Client: Bank of America
Project Summary:
After performing an annual survey of employees
and their workplace satisfaction they learned
that the occupants felt that the building was
designed like a jail. It was cold and unfeeling,
had mesh panels on the handrails that felt like
jail cell gates, and the guard desk was out dated
and didn't provide the required features the
staff needed to perform their duties. We were
asked to soften up the space and make it more
inviting both in the lobby as well as the lower
level café area. New program areas for an ATM,
display case, and seating for prospective employ-
ees to fill out applications and watch training
videos were necessary. The final design show-
cased “kiosks” for each of these program areas
and translucent panels to replace the wire mesh
in the railings.
