Project Overview

Womble Bond Dickinson, a prominent UK law firm, partnered with ADT Workplace to refurbish its office located on the 6th floor of 1 Whitehall Riverside in Leeds.

Scope of Work

ADT Workplace provided a full CAT B fit-out, transforming the 13,000 sq. ft. office to meet the evolving needs of their 110 employees. The project focused on creating a dynamic, multifunctional workspace. Key project highlights include:

  • Agile Workspaces: A range of work settings, including hot-desking, collaboration zones, and quiet areas for focused tasks. This flexibility encourages productivity and empowers employees to choose the work environment that best suits their tasks.
  • Well-being Spaces: The design incorporated relaxation areas and breakout spaces, fostering a workplace that prioritises employee well-being. These areas support employees’ need to recharge, reflecting the firm’s commitment to a healthier working environment.
  • High-end Design and Technology Integration: Sophisticated design elements were combined with the latest technology, ensuring a visually appealing and highly functional workspace that supports agile working.

Key Achievements

  • Collaboration and Flexibility: The open-plan layout promotes team collaboration while still offering quiet areas for individual work. This balance encourages interaction and idea-sharing, essential for a law firm.
  • Well-being Focus: Relaxation and well-being spaces were integrated to enhance employee satisfaction, helping to create a balanced work environment that supports both productivity and relaxation.
  • Post-Pandemic Adaptation: The office redesign allows Womble Bond Dickinson to operate with greater agility. The flexible workspace supports hybrid working models, accommodating the shift in workplace dynamics since the pandemic.

Results

The office fit out project, completed in just 16 weeks, delivered a future-proof office for Womble Bond Dickinson. The feedback from employees has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the flexible workspaces and improved well-being facilities. The redesigned office has increased collaboration while providing comforting spaces for relaxation, supporting a better work-life balance.
