The Gym
01 Challenge
BHDP's strong relationship with Procter and Gamble (P&G) continues to expand and grow with new projects. P&G needed to relocate “The Gym,” a collaborative work environment for on-site facilitated workshops previously held off-site. Looking to move The Gym to one of their Cincinnati campuses, P&G enlisted our firm to design an inclusive space for employees to find the resources, training, and support they need to catalyze innovation with intent, efficiency, and quality.
02 Solution
The Gym caters to a wide range of workstyles and people while providing a functional, community-focused, and cutting-edge destination that embraces “onsite is the new offsite.” The center of the facility features a main corridor with views into each workshop room, allowing natural light and ideas to flow freely throughout the space, and a patterned window film balances focus and privacy. Studios, located off the corridor, serve as employee meeting and breakout rooms—with additional meeting spaces on the second floor.

The Gym eliminates the need for off-site spaces like convention centers and hotel conference rooms. It has become a distinct destination that elevates the human experience and sets a new standard for P&G Workplace Design. Wood accents along the walls and comfortable seating throughout the corridor heighten the off-site atmosphere, and an undulating ceiling feature creates a sense of movement and flows throughout the space. The Gym, where potential is limitless and ideas come to life, is the go-to destination for P&G innovation.
The corridor funnels into a sophisticated café and dining space filled with elegant furniture and touches of warm metals, offering a physical and psychological escape from the norm.
