Satellite Healthcare

"The building which we moved was built with sustainability principles in mind, so we wanted our environment to reflect that as well.”

In addition to Satellite Healthcare’s vision for its new modern office space design, Workspace Interiors and DGA also had to consider the requirements of the building’s owner. The 16,234 square foot, largely open-plan interior space—with conference areas and private offices—is on the third floor of a building completely clad in glass. Because of this, certain design standards needed to be met for furniture that could be viewed from the street level. For instance, workstations were required to be at least three feet away from the glass and had partition height restrictions. Also required was a high-quality finish on furniture that could be viewed through the windows.

Workspace Interiors and DGA Architects worked within building design standards, such as the proximity of furniture to the glass exterior.

An additional challenge was the project’s timeline which, from start to finish, was approximately two months. Workspace Interiors worked closely with DGA to make certain the furniture was ordered and arrived on time and coordinated with the contractor to ensure that furniture installation and placement matched up with power sources. Workspace Interiors also supervised specialty work, including the installation of microphones into a conference room table to be used with a state-of-the-art automated conference room system.

Throughout the course of the project, Workspace Interiors handled many responsibilities that would have typically fallen on the shoulders of a very busy Colin Carthen, Supply Chain Manager for Satellite Healthcare. Carthen’s job responsibilities included negotiating contracts for supplies and services across the entire organization.
