Office Renovation
01 Challenge
Oxford University Press (OUP) has a rich history that traces back to the earliest days of printing. Due to a new digital business model and coinciding rebranding efforts, the company decided to consolidate their Cary, NC, office and relocate. Through various strategic engagements, we discovered that OUP desired a new hybrid work model with community, functionality, and technology at its core.
02 Solution
The office environment is modern, flexible, and above all else, connected. A welcoming entry beckons users into the space, prompting them to make connections and greet coworkers upon arrival. We accented the area with wood slat ceiling features, pendant lighting, and elements of Oxford’s new brand throughout the office.
