Environments at Work completes renovation

Environments at Work completed the renovation of administrative offices for the non-profit South Cove Community Health Center on South St. Environments at Work provided the design, project management and installation for the entire project.   The project included nine private offices, 10 workstations, and a conference room. The Haworth Unigroup Too Workstation System was selected for its durability and design flair, which was complemented by the application of Sit on It seating throughout the project. The private offices and conference room are outfitted with Groupe Lacasse.    "Environments at Work offered us more than a means to purchase furniture," noted Eric Tiberi, COO of South Cove Community Health Center. "The team worked with us to design, manage and install the entire project on a not-for-profit budget.  We selected Environments at Work because of their long-standing reputation for service and support and their creativity in solving our unique challenges."      South Cove Community Health Center occupies two floors in their Boston-based building. The administrative staff moved from the second floor of the building to the third floor and the entire project needed to be realized during normal day-to-day operations.    "The new office space had less natural light, but the client had a limited schedule and budget for renovation," said Tina Kuczynski, account manager at Environments at Work.  "Our solution was to recommend the Haworth Unigroup Too system and suggest glass stack panels on the top of the workstations.  This allowed the vibrant colors on the walls and floors to be the most prominent character of the space, while maximizing the amount of natural light in the work areas."     About Environments at Work New England's premier Haworth dealer, Environments at Work features the latest furniture and architectural products from Haworth and many other manufacturers complementary to the Haworth life of office furniture, including Darran, Egan, Harter, HBF, Human Scale, Nemschoff, Krug and Sit On It.

When it comes to corporate interior spaces for both commercial and industrial projects, partnering with a design-build firm with in-house interior design services can offer clients many benefits.

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.

State legislature ends session without passing PLA bill - by Joe Camilo

Massachusetts taxpayers dodged a bullet when the state Senate didn’t take up legislation passed by the House in the waning moments of the legislative session that would have made it easier for municipalities and state agencies to use union-only project labor agreements (PLAs) on construction projects.
