Project Insights: Google 5 Cambridge Center Workspace Fitness Lockers

Google’s new workspace fitness lockers, provided by Hollman Lockers

INTRODUCTION

Google wanted to expand their Cambridge Center office space to accommodate for their exponential employee growth. Google provides many different types of workspaces to best suit their 1,500+ employees. With the endless possibilities of workspaces to choose from, Google has not forgotten about their employees’ health. Google provides an on-site gym for their employees to use. Google’s design team partnered with Hollman to provide the best quality workspace fitness lockers for their employees.

“Google opened its first office in Cambridge back in 2003, and fifteen years later, we’ve grown to over 1,500 employees, working on major projects like Search, Android, Cloud, YouTube, Google Play, Research, Ads and more,” says Google Cambridge site lead Brian Cusack. “This new space will provide room for future growth and further unites our commitment to the Cambridge community. We’re proud to call this city home and will continue to support its vibrant nonprofit and growing business community.”

CHALLENGE

The designers of Google’s Cambridge location integrated Google culture with Boston culture to create a one-of-a-kind office. According to NELSON, the goal was to create a campus that was a “truly Boston/Cambridge space, with specific nods to both.” For this reason, Google wanted to continue this theme in the locker rooms.

SOLUTION + BENEFITS

Hollman provided a combination of models for Google’s fitness lockers. Such as double-tier model b, triple-tier model c, and four-tier model d lockers. Some come with an integrated bench. The lockers are 14W x 18D x 80H. Underneath the integrated bench, there are open cubbies for additional storage. The cubbies are 14W x 18D x 14H.

Additionally, they chose a combination of smooth and textured laminates to finish the lockers. Wilsonart Fawn Cypress, a textured laminate, was custom-ordered for this project. The smooth laminate used to break up the Fawn Cypress is by Abet Laminati.

Finally, the team chose the Keyless360 in satin-nickel from Keyless Co. Most importantly, this lock doesn’t require any keys. Instead, the Keyless360 allows the user to select a combination made up of a number and a letter.

RESULTS

Together with Hollman Workspace Lockers‘ help, Google provided their employees with enough space to store their belongings while they hit the gym. Hollman produced over 100 lockers for this space. Additionally, the lockers fit the overall office’s theme by adding a pop of color to stand out.

        Project Insights: Elkhorn Lodge Ski Lockers

        ‘Exclusive, Premier, World-Class Elegance’ are all used to describe Elkhorn Lodge in Beaver Creek Resort with Hollman Club, Resort and Ski Lockers

        INTRODUCTION

        ‘Exclusive, Premier, World-Class Elegance’ are all used to describe Elkhorn Lodge in Beaver Creek Resort. In an upscale location, Elkhorn offers a spectacular backdrop for gatherings of 10-30 participants.’ The guests can enjoy skiing from a variety of villages between the resort. With all of the ski options the resort offers, Elkhorn needs to provide a storage solution while maintaining its exclusive and luxurious experience. For this reason, they partnered with Hollman Ski Lockers to develop a storage solution.

        CHALLENGE

        Like other companies, Elkhorn wants to provide germ-free, clean, and safe facilities for their customers and guests. Secondly, they want their lockers to be durable, water-resistant, and functional. Additionally, they need to be large enough to store skis, snowboards, and additional gear.

        SOLUTION + BENEFIT

        Elkhorn’s design team, Victor Mark Donaldson Architects, was aware of the challenges they needed to overcome. With Hollman lockers’ help, they were able to go above and beyond Elkhorn Lodge’s expectations and needs. Hollman provided single-tier, wood veneer lockers with a nanolam interior, solid surface shelving, and some benches. 

        The single-tier model A lockers are 30W x 30D x 84L. Certainly large enough to store guest skis, snowboards, and gear. The lockers also have a water-resistant core. The MedEx core stops the veneer lockers from absorbing water. The nanolam interior is antimicrobial and keeps mold and bacteria from growing. 

        The wood veneer flat benches are 20W x 60L and stained to match the lockers. Hollman also provided Elkhorn Lodge with amenities such as wood-framed mirrors and foldable towel rack wall mounts.

        RESULTS

        With the help of Hollman club, resort, and ski lockers, Elkhorn Lodge was able to keep their club experience comfortable, luxurious, and clean. Hollman’s team worked together to develop the ultimate storage solution for Elkhorn’s guests’ ski equipment and belongings.

        In conclusion, Elkhorn Lodge’s ski lockers provide guests space to store their skis, snowboards, and gear without worrying about bacteria, mold, or damage. The nanolam interior is antimicrobial material that reduces the chance of staph infection by 99.79%. This high-tech laminate resists scratches and abrasions which may occur from ski equipment. The lockers also have a MedEx core to protect against the melted snow.

        Above all, these lockers are durable, antimicrobial, and water-resistant. At the same time, maintaining the luxurious, exclusive experience, Elkhorn Lodge provides.

                    Project Insights: Siemens Headquarters’ Workspace Storage Solutions

                    Siemens New Way of Working, with Hollman Workspace Lockers

                    INTRODUCTION

                    The team at Siemens was interested in creating a modern office for their employees. Siemens headquarters chose Hollman Lockers to create workspace storage solutions for their new office. They worked together with Hollman’s sales and design teams to develop a functional and flexible workspace.

                    Siemens has been adapting to the open-concept workspace throughout the years. In an article from 2012 about their new Orlando office, Siemens branded the term, NewWOW. Short for “New Way of Working,” the design allowed the company to trade the traditional office culture for added collaboration as it downsized its quarters. Based on the “hotel concept,” which lets employees move among desks equipped with phones and computers, the New Way of Working goes further by providing both computing power and phone service via portable laptops. It also includes workspace lockers. The lockers allow employees to stash their belongings when they’re not using them.

                    CHALLENGE

                    Siemens headquarters’ team laid out their goals for their new workspace. Firstly, they wanted their lockers to have a few pops of color. Secondly, to allow employees to move around freely. Thirdly, to offer a lock system that wouldn’t require a key or code.

                    SOLUTION + BENEFIT

                    Siemens headquarters got a high-quality product with all of the features they wanted with Hollman’s workspace lockers’ help. Hollman assembled lockers with multi-colored laminate doors. Popular colors such as red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and more add a tasteful hint of color to the white lockers. The team went with a laminate interior for a clean finishing touch.

                    There is a mix of two-tier and four-tier lockers. Both are the same dimensions of 15W x 24D x 72H, which provides employees with plenty of space to store their belongings. In turn, the lockers allow employees to move around freely throughout the office.

                    Hollman also installed a Vecos lock system on the lockers. Vecos is a smart lock that allows users to access their locker through an app on their phones. Most importantly, no keys or combination codes are required to get into their lockers. As a result, the smart locks are extremely user-friendly.

                    RESULTS

                    In conclusion, Hollman’s workspace lockers were the perfect solution to fit Siemens headquarters office needs. Siemens headquarters workspace lockers feature a touchless security solution provided by Vecos and a flexible storage solution provided by Hollman.

                          Project Insights: PayPal Philippines Headquarters Workspace Lockers

                          “As an organization, PayPal champions innovation, collaboration, inclusion, and wellness. All of these are themes that resonate with Filipinos, particularly with millennials. The new office puts these values in full display at its Alabang office.” Workspace lockers.

                          INTRODUCTION

                          PayPal’s new headquarters in the Philippines is open and ready to fill 1,000 jobs by the end of 2020. In order to add 1,000 jobs, PayPal needed to create a workspace that would meet the needs of its employees. By teaming up with Hollman Lockers, PayPal’s Philippines Headquarters office space added hundreds of workspace lockers.

                          CHALLENGE

                          PayPal’s team’s primary focus was to create a custom design that accommodated the needs of their 700+ employees. Firstly, they wanted their workspace lockers to include their brand colors. Secondly, to offer versatile functionality. Lastly, to allow employees the ability to move around the office for open collaboration.

                          SOLUTION + BENEFIT

                          The teams at Hollman and PayPal collaborated to bring PayPal’s workspace storage solution designs to life for the site of their new operations in the Philippines. The result was a combination of workspace locker solutions to maximize functionality for their 700+ employees.

                          For the hallways, the PayPal team chose a unique design of custom-made inset doors with laminate interiors. These workspace lockers also feature color accents with custom matching edge-banding of the PayPal brand Pantone colors.

                          Hollman created two-tier, laminate lockers in a white high-gloss finish. These workspace lockers offer dual functionality that serves as both a marker board and magnet for the open workspace.

                          Moreover, the PayPal team also requested a graduated locker configuration of custom lockers to divide the space. The configurations consisted of single-tier, double-tier, and triple-tier laminate lockers. Additionally, the division of space also serves as a social distancing barrier.

                          RESULTS

                          Overall, with Hollman workspace lockers‘ help, these workspace storage solutions seamlessly fit into the PayPal office space to maximize employee productivity and provide social distancing barriers. “The new office consists of rest areas, a karaoke room, a games area, and a modern cafeteria complete with built-in LED screens and sound system. To encourage teamwork and connectivity among employees, the workspace features open collaboration zones and Wi-Fi on all floors.”
