DESIGN OF
OFFICE BUSINESS CENTERS
|
The Environment
|
Office business centers bring diverse groups of companies and professionals together. They are essentially strangers when they enter the center. AoPlan believes that successful office business centers provide environments that promote the experience of “community” among center clients and visitors. Centers should be facilities that full time and part time users want to come to, feel a part of, and be comfortable working in. For this reason all AoPlan centers include lounge and café areas for the common use of clients.

The Image
|
The first impression or image of a visitor or a potential center client is one of the most important elements of center design. It can make or break the potential success of the center. Image is a subjective factor, however. To the urban center it may mean ”highly professional”. To the suburban center, it may be more casual. AoPlan designers study markets and potential users to find the right image for our clients’ centers. Reception areas are carefully designed and reception personnel carefully chosen by specialists. Conference and meeting rooms are carefully design to support function levels and usage requirements.

The Spacial Relationships
|
Office business centers must maintain basic relationships among public, private, service and management spaces in order to operate efficiently and successfully. AoPlan designers understand the working procedures of a center, the interrelationships among it employees and the importance of the configuration of the center in supporting the expectations of center clientele. Service and management areas are strategically positioned to support client needs, personnel functions and management requirements.
