Engaged early in the process, Kearney retained SGH to be trusted advisor during the pre-lease process to determine the best solution for the future needs for their Toronto Office location. SGH conducted space studies for multiple locations, concluding a relocation would best suit their evolving business needs.
The new Kearney office of 5,500 sq.ft. was designed as a hub encouraging the team to come together. Kearney adopted a model of unassigned seating, with large collaboration zones and enclosed spaces for virtual collaboration.
Most importantly, the design of the new office brought together a large multipurpose room for all staff meetings. This space can be opened to the café and allow for organic movement fostering culture and connection between the two spaces or enclosed, working as a private meeting area for staff to utilize for more focused meetings. The café serves as an informal reception with bright colours, local artwork, and the incorporation of biophilia create a welcoming space that people want to come to.
