With three-fold benefits to be had from this approach; social, environmental and financial, the solution creates a triple impact. For the employees who work in the space, greater inclusion and accessibility is maximized through flexible working, smart space design and furniture choice. The flexible approach also has resulted in substantially reduced commuting, reducing the overall carbon footprint of Jacobs as a whole. And finally, fewer resources are needed financially to deliver and operate the transformative space.

Jacobs wanted to maximize the flexibility of the space for their people, in order to allow them to choose spaces to suit their work need and to ensure that future flexibility was easy. Working with their design teams and the team at Workplace Resource, we provided a range of our furniture items to support their need for flexibility as well as their ongoing sustainability goals. The collaborative Railway Carriage booths allow teams to quickly meet to discuss ideas without the formality of booking a meeting room, or taking up as much floorspace as a traditional meeting room would.
