The way we work is changing. At Arcadis, we are shifting the emphasis from ‘where’ to ‘how’ and, in doing so, need a more modern, functional workplace that could flex and adapt to our evolving needs. When it came to the future of our workplace, we had to create an environment that works for everyone. For us, this means providing a more inclusive experience, enhancing well-being, improving collaboration and innovation, creating a more flexible workspace design, and driving a culture of trust, respect, and ownership. Arcadis has long been at the forefront of digitization in the property sector, looking at ways to use technology and data to improve efficiencies, sustainability, and the operation of buildings of all types. The way in which we approach our office space is no different.
Our new London office at 80 Fenchurch Street, the 80Fen Arcadis workplace, has been designed to foster collaboration, build social connections, and engage with our clients.
We began with a series of surveys and workshops to understand our people’s physical and digital needs. From how often they wanted to come into the office to how they would use the space once they were there, our user-experience design processes and tools helped define the ideal employee experience, together with the intelligent building technologies that would facilitate it.
As one of only a handful of occupiers to sign a major lease in the City of London during COVID-19, we are committed to supporting business recovery and recognize that physical office space has an important part to play, particularly when it comes to collaboration, building social connections, and better engaging with our clients. However, it’s a different type of space that reflects the changing nature of the workday and our workforce.
In this respect, 80Fen is the embodiment of our strategy and ways of working, where choice and flexibility are central. More than a one-time fit-out, it represents a step change in how we use and curate space. By putting sustainability and digital leadership at the heart of the sustainable office building, 80Fen is adaptable to the needs of our clients, colleagues, and business.
