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: WeWork SOMA Coworking Storage Solutions

        WeWork’s collaborative co-working space with Hollman Workspace Lockers

        Co-working spaces of WeWork have truly have changed the way employers and entrepreneurs manage their productivity. They are known to increase creativity, improve productivity, and create networking and collaborative opportunities. One of the difficulties of a shared and open workspace is the storage and security of personal belongings.

        Surrounded by the headquarters of Uber and Square and corporate offices of Twitter and Microsoft, the WeWork SOMA co-working space is in a perfect location to grow any business as it is compromised of art-filled lounges, private offices, and conference rooms. This shared workspace was set to be an ideal place for attracting talent and creating innovative projects but lacked designated storage for their variety of users. The design team at WeWork needed a storage solution that wouldn’t affect their flexible workspace environment but would give their customers a safe place to keep personal items.

        The storage solution Hollman Lockers provided was built for seamless integration with their walkways throughout the office space. Their workspace lockers included a combination of single-tier Model A and double-tier Model B lockers, both measuring 15″W x 20″D x 26″H. The WeWork design team chose an exterior laminate finish of Spectrum Blue from Formica paired with Gantner RFID network locks.

        WeWork’s workspace lockers provide the best solution for their customers to safely and conveniently store their personal belongings. The lockers were designed to be integrated with their open seating areas to maximize their space utilization. The high-tech Gantner locks provide a sleek appearance and enhanced user-experience for the WeWork members. In addition to increased functionality, these credenza-style lockers effortlessly fit with the aesthetic of the WeWork interior space.
