Deere-Hitachi retained Workplace A+D to help increase capacity, collaboration, and employee wellbeing with a renovation of the second floor of their Kernersville, NC headquarters. The project included the renovation of just over 17,000 square feet of interior space — featuring a new breakroom, new open and enclosed office and collaborative spaces, and new restroom facilities for the staff. New furniture was also included within the scope of the project. With a new employee capacity of close to 100, Deere-Hitachi’s goals were achieved through cost-effective design strategies that increased floor density and improved staff work flows, while at the same time providing additional needed collaboration, meeting, and amenity space.

Workplace A+D was proud to work on another project with BE Aerospace (now Collins Aerospace) Co-located with Boeing’s largest production facility and assembly operations, this new flexible-cell manufacturing and engineering site brought together multiple divisions of BE Aerospace including galleys, emergency oxygen systems and lavatories. Using planning guidelines and standards previously developed by Workplace A+D, this facility includes a 65,000 SF office area for 375 engineers and division management, as well as work areas though the production and assembly areas .A unique challenge on this project was the use of high-bay space for the office environment, with delivery of power and data from upper trusses with custom-designed overhead grid system. Semi enclosed spaces in the open plan for managers and conference rooms were designed for flexibility even with the challenge of local seismic codes.

This complete renovation of 370 Knollwood updated the Krispy Kreme headquarters to give their workspace more efficiency as well as incorporated brand expression into the space. Krispy Kreme continued to occupy the 70,000 SF of space during the multi-phased renovation.
Visitors are welcomed, with coffee and doughnuts, to the new two story lobby space connected by a circular stainless steel stair and waterfall, emulating the iconic production line where the doughnuts are bathed in the hot glaze. A custom display in the lobby traces the rich history of the 75+ year old company, and leads to a colorful common break area that doubles as a meeting space.
The updated work areas and meeting rooms are even “glazed” with glass walls and “frosted” with a gradient dot film that provides privacy while still allowing natural light into the building center. Employee beverage stations on each floor are encircled with a vibrant nod to the HOT NOW sign that fans recognize worldwide.

The ACC was out of space in their current office building and needed a strategy where they could renovate in place to allow for the growth they had experienced, along with providing an agile and more open environment for the team members. The project consisted of a renovation in place of the first floor of their headquarters along with an expansive brand immersion throughout the space. A conscious effort was put forth in the selection of interior finishes – those being a nice clean and a neutral palette to provide the backdrop of the branded ACC team graphics on display throughout the space.
Included in the first-floor revocation, was the boardroom that not only provided a championship hosted meeting room, but doubled as an employee lounge- an informal collaborative team huddle space that the building did not previously provide. New furniture was deployed to support the wellness and agility of the employees. A project highlight is definitely the PolyVision electric glass on the meeting room down the main corridor, providing privacy for the occupants with just the flip of a switch.
