GlaxoSmithKline

Consumer Product Group Hub Office Renovations

GlaxoSmithKline retained EI Associates to create a “hub” environment for one of their consumer product groups. The Hub promotes integrated product team development through a mix of R&D and Marketing personnel located within a common office area. The Hub is comprised of touchdown desks, “hot” desk areas, informal gathering space and conference rooms to facilitate impromptu meetings and “brain-storming” sessions among all the team members. The variety of work areas enable each team member to select the type most fitting to their needs, allowing personnel to move and work freely throughout the Hub.

The Hub environment was designed to encourage individual team member use of a variety of work areas on an as-needed basis. Fixed lockers are provided for individual supplies. The Hub was also designed with full computer capabilities for meetings, brainstorming and work sessions anywhere within the space. While the majority of the area is designed as an open area, enclosed areas house the Innovation Studio, Quiet Room and Focus Booths.
