Green innovation in workspace design
OGCI, a CEO-led initiative in the Oil & Gas sector dedicated to shaping the industry’s response to climate change, together, we forged a workspace that harmonises sustainability and well-being, meticulously refining work settings to elevate productivity and user contentment.
The space fosters the innovating and integrated nature of the OGCI business with open plan work spaces with plenty of pockets of collaboration space woven throughout. Adjustable furniture enables employees to choose how they work based on departmental, team and individual needs, while in addition to enhancing productivity and user satisfaction, these settings also encourage autonomy and support comfort.
This new workspace significantly enhances the OGCI’s offering and features a suite of fully tech-enabled meeting rooms, as well as an event space, directly adjacent to their large reception area. Facilities such as the staff cafeteria and lounge benefit staff well-being and turn the workplace into a multi-functional destination, ultimately providing leverage for talent acquisition.
Workplace design to achieve SKA Gold certification
AIS guided subcontractors to align with OGCI’s sustainability objectives, utilising experts familiar with the SKA Gold certification process. Through eco-friendly practices like minimising material emissions and installing energy-efficient lighting, the collaborative effort resulted in a modern office that reduces consumption and enhances occupants’ well-being.
To meet sustainability goals, we creatively reused partitions, doors, and tea points from the client’s previous fit-out, achieving a radical transformation. While maintaining the existing build, new finishes and furniture lightened the space, enhancing flexibility for varied work styles.
