On October 4th, 2021, McGill University launched an innovative initiative by occupying the Pilot Project workspace. This dynamic space embodies an open, shared, and collaborative model, serving as a living ecosystem where participants engage with and test a cutting-edge working environment.
Designed to optimize space utilization and cater to diverse user needs, the University crafted a multifunctional, multimodal, and highly adaptable environment. This strategic setup allows for effortless transformation, ensuring a variety of configurations that support a range of activities and working styles. By fostering creativity and collaboration, the Pilot Project workspace is paving the way for the future of modernized workspaces at McGill.
In summary, the Pilot Project workspace:
- Incorporates fully flexible office furniture
- Is highly adaptable to the unforeseen needs of employees (health measures, technical requirements, etc.)
- Maximizes the use of space through desk sharing
- Plans for future changes
- Can accommodate a high degree of activity
- Adaptability
- Durability
- Technology
Project Description:
Interior retrofit of IT administrative spaces within 680 Sherbrooke (levels 5 and 16) and Burnside (level 2).
Project Scope:
Based on the knowledge gathered through the New Models of work pilot project, the IT workspace optimization project is a furniture based retrofit that aims at minimizing construction cost, modernizing the workspace and optimizing space allocation.
