Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area Relocates to the GTEC
A Fresh New Look to Reinvigorate the GTEC Building
Creating a warm and welcoming space that builds connections
When the Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area relocated their office to the GTEC building, they were looking to reinvigorate their workspace and create a collaborative work environment that can provide privacy when needed. Within a limited budget, they dreamed of creating a community space that would become the inspiration for future renovations to the Cornerstone Campus GTEC.
The new design has community at its heart, creating a warm and welcoming entrance and a lively space that builds connections. Taking an innovative approach to the work environment, this design eliminated all but one private office, integrating supervisors into a dynamic workspace with their teams. To encourage social interaction throughout the day, the kitchen area is freely accessible from the workspace, and casual furniture groupings provide teams with a variety of collaborative options.
By remaining in constant communication with the client and the construction team, Walker was able to work within the limited budget and transform this office into a collaborative and inviting community space that redefines what the workplace can be.
