Press Release: Mespace Launches the First Modern Workstation Designed for Neurodiverse Professionals

The new company under Hollman Inc. manufactures modern, adaptive workstations to give organizations a competitive edge by unlocking the potential of neurodiverse professionals and enabling enhanced productivity across the workplace.

DALLAS, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hollman Inc., an industry leader in locker design and solutions, announced today the launch of its new company, MeSpace. MeSpace manufactures the first-of-its-kind, adaptive workstations designed specifically for neurodiverse professionals. The neuroinclusive workstations provide individuals with control over their environment and the ability to customize a safe and secure workspace that meets their unique sensory needs.

MeSpace founder Travis Hollman talks about designing a workspace for the neurodiverse based on his personal journey.

“We’re on a journey to unlock the potential of neurodiverse individuals and boost productivity and innovation for the entire workforce,” said Travis Hollman, Founder and CEO of MeSpace. “Today, about 20% of the workforce is neurodiverse, and studies show a strong increase in the diagnosis for younger generations, with over 50% of Gen Z identifying as neurodiverse and an even greater percentage of Gen Alpha. This next generation of neurodiverse workers are innovative thinkers who excel at complex problem-solving – these are the exact skills demanded by companies as AI increasingly replaces many repetitive office tasks. If given the right environment, I firmly believe neurodiverse people will change the world, and that’s why we launched MeSpace.”

MeSpace was inspired by both the personal and professional experiences of founder Travis Hollman. As the father of a neurodiverse son, and as a neurodiverse entrepreneur and leader himself, Hollman is leveraging his unique background leading the world’s largest manufacturer of locker solutions to create MeSpace to ensure people like him can succeed. MeSpace marks the next major entrepreneurial venture for Hollman with other successful launches that include the Marshmallow Fun Company, the creation of the first relaxation beverage, Vacation in a Bottle, and the launch of MTV’s critically acclaimed show Bully Beatdown where he served as co-executive producer.

“Today, employees are largely forced to adjust to sterile, standardized workplace environments, but MeSpace has designed an innovative workstation that enables individuals to tailor their environment to fit their unique needs,” said Kay Sargent, a workplace design leader for HOK and neuroinclusive consultant. “By creating the Swiss Army Knife of the office, solutions like MeSpace not only benefit those with extreme sensory challenges, but they also benefit the mean. Today, we are all impacted by noise, clutter, smells. Companies around the world have been looking for a solution that not only supports neuroinclusivity, but fuels performance for everyone.”

MeSpace allows users to create their ideal work environment through user-centric customization, which includes biophilic elements, on-demand acoustic and visual privacy, adjustable height desk, tailored lighting, varied texture surfaces, and more.

Hollman concluded: “With neurodiverse unemployment rates of about 40%, a customizable working environment is often the major difference between them succeeding or not. MeSpace is the first company to create an environment specifically designed for the neurodiverse, and we’re excited about the momentum we’re seeing as leading companies look to leverage our workstations to help their employees succeed.”

About MeSpace

Created by CEO Travis Hollman, MeSpace was inspired by his personal struggles with dyslexia and his extensive experience in manufacturing and design.

                          Project Insight: Auburn University Women’s Basketball Locker Room

                          Auburn University’s women’s basketball renovated their locker room with the help of Hollman Lockers to create a unique personal space for players.

                          Hollman partnered with Auburn University’s women’s basketball to upgrade their locker room with a redesign. Hollman is no stranger to Auburn, renovating the current men’s basketball locker room and creating the previous women’s basketball locker room back in 2019 (seen below).

                          Auburn women’s basketball’s new head coach, Johnnie Harris, wanted the players to have their own personal space and a place to recover post-game and practice. Players spend countless hours in the practice facility and locker room, so it is crucial for them to have adequate space and storage for their belongings. Coach Harris wanted a locker design similar to the men’s basketball lockers equipped with a lot of technology and sustainable elements.

                          Hollman partnered with GMC sports architecture for the design. Through collaboration with Gregory Forthofer, the Athletic Director of Facilities for Auburn, and Rachel Stiver from GMC, we created a new locker room that achieved Coach Harris’ goals.

                          The new layout includes two separate sections of the lounge for the players. The first section is an open space for players, coaches, staff, and recruits to relax, review film and collaborate. The second section was designed for restoring and recovering including the locker room and vanities.

                          The 17 custom-designed lockers are made of primarily Solid Surface, a durable and pore-less material designed for impact and longevity. Additional materials include custom acrylic panels and laminate.

                          Creating a recovery space is nothing without equipping players with the ultimate amenities and accessories. Players can relax in heated zero-gravity massage chairs, charge their phones or tablets and store personals in their private lock boxes.

                          Technology upgrades include integrating TVs, LED lighting that turns on when the locker is open and off when the locker is closed. Custom halo-lit “AU” logo that adds a unique glow effect inside the locker perfect for recruits and game day photos.

                          Players will have the ability to charge any device due to the power USB duplex. Two perforated drawers for shoes allow airflow, and the locker has a ventilation system to prevent odors and reduce bacteria. Lastly, we did custom hangers with “tiger eyes” engraved in the stainless steel hangers for players to display their uniforms on.

                          Our process made it easy to reach our goal to make the lockers big enough for players to be comfortable and have enough space for all their items. “This space has been designed to provide a relaxing environment while also harnessing the energetic atmosphere necessary before a game” (GMC article).

                          With the project complete, Auburn’s women’s basketball team is ready for the season equipped with the ideal locker room for before and after games.

                          • 17 player lockers
