Businesses, institutions, and non-profits all rely on office space to carry out essential functions, from payroll processing to hosting long-term strategy meetings. However, having the ideal interior layout is difficult—if not downright impossible—using traditional fixed-wall architectural methods. Even if the building was designed with the organization’s needs in mind, changes over time can render the current design antiquated or even counter-productive. Staffs increase or decrease in size, budgets and priorities change, and technological advances put unforeseen demands on existing structures. All of these factors not only inhibit productivity, but in many cases they can also lower employee morale, interfere with intra-office communications, and negatively affect how customers or clients perceive the organization.
The Answer: a Movable Wall System
In a world that is constantly evolving, movable walls provide an ideal solution to ever-changing business needs. What is today a row of small offices can tomorrow become a training room. An area that once served a dozen employees can be adjusted to meet the needs of varying staff levels. This is a particularly useful benefit for companies that hire a large number of temporary or seasonal workers, such as tax preparation services during March and April.
Workstations can be rapidly assembled, used for a period of time, then the components either reconfigured for other uses or stored for future needs. Movable systems combine the sturdiness and permanent look of traditional walls with the flexibility and convenience of mobile partitions.
The wide range of materials used in movable wall construction enables other benefits. For example, a number of studies have shown that employees are happier and better at their jobs when they’re exposed to natural light. However, this can be difficult to achieve using traditional, opaque construction materials. But mobile partitions can be fashioned from transparent, semi-transparent, and even frosted glass, allowing the rays of the sun to penetrate deep into a building’s interior.
Not only can this improve morale, it can also lessen the need to rely on artificial light and heating sources, saving company funds that would otherwise go to inflated energy bills. Also, it gives the office a bright, cheery atmosphere that will appeal to workers, clients and other visitors alike.
Another benefit of movable walls is the flexibility they allow firms searching for a new office location. Instead of being limited to a small number of choices, virtually any structure can be modified to meet the new occupant’s particular needs. For example, a former warehouse consisting of 4,000 square feet of open space can be transformed into a reception area, individual offices, conference/training rooms, and even research labs. All it requires is the knowledge to design smartly and the experience, training, and muscle power to turn the plan into a reality.
