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: 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.

              -Speed Magazine
              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.”

                    Expedia’s Office Of The Future with Hollman Workspace Lockers

                    “Nature is in, but assigned seating is out. Archana Singh, Expedia’s chief people officer, said employees had dedicated desks at the old office. In the new space, workers are assigned what are known as neighborhoods and generally take a seat wherever.” workspace storage solution

                    INTRODUCTION

                    Expedia wanted their workspace to make a “cultural shift” from cluttered desks to open space for team collaboration. As a result, they partnered with Hollman lockers for a workspace storage solution.

                    CHALLENGE

                    The goal — for a travel company, after all — is to have consistency across its locations around the world. This way employees have the same tech and workspace experience in Seattle, Austin, London, India, and elsewhere.

                    SOLUTION + BENEFIT

                    With the help of Hollman’s workspace lockers, the team at Expedia was able to achieve their goals. Hollman assembled two-tier, model b lockers 18W x 18Dx 36H for their office. Further, they provided four-tier, model d lockers, 18W x 18D x 72H, for their fitness center.

                    The team chose a premium high gloss laminate by Formica to finish the lockers and integrated Gantner RFID smart locks. The RFID locks are a simple solution for employees to access their locker with a badge that scans and opens their lockers.

                    RESULTS

                    The ZGF-designed Expedia Group corporate headquarters was featured in a recent Wall Street Journal article looking at the “office of the future”—Wi-Fi-equipped rocks, fire pits, and all.

                    The team at Expedia wanted to make sure their change from traditional desk pods to the modern, hotel desk concept be easy for their employees. They also wanted to create a unified, consistent workspace for all of its locations around the world. Hollman’s workspace lockers met Expedia’s goals and expectations.

                    “We found that initially, it is an adjustment for people, but once you’re used to the other benefits that you get from how you can collaborate and how you can go to a quiet space…we found that the challenges that people had gone away,” Burgess said.

                    Their smart lockers make it easy for their employees to move about freely through the office. Thus allowing them to not have to worry about the safety of their personal belongings. The modern locker design also compliments all of their offices.

                          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.
