Environments at Work furnishes MACTEC office

Environments at Work, New England's Haworth office furniture dealer, installed 90 workstations and furniture for 25 offices at the office of MACTEC. MACTEC renegotiated its lease and gave the space a "face lift" - new carpet, paint and furniture. The conference rooms were furnished with user adjustable mobile tables and seating to support multi-function meeting requirements by using Haworth Planes tables and Haworth Very task chairs. "It was a pleasure working with Environments at Work over the course of this phased project. They did a great job supporting our design intent to meet our expectations for project aesthetics and timeline," said Larry Rogers, facility manager for MACTEC. "We wanted to stay in our existing space and the new office furniture is a great addition." Based in Atlanta, the MACTEC team includes 3,000 employees in 80 locations. Best known for environmental and geotechnical success, MACTEC offers an ever-broadening portfolio of sustainable solutions, from transportation to facility asset management. Haworth's UniGroup Too systems furniture was selected based upon the organizations focus to incorporate a more flexible, ergonomic, energy efficient, and sustainable work environment.

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.

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
