Case Study | Boehringer Ingelheim: Workplace Strategy

case study boheringer ingelheim 810x540

We didn't just see an office space. We saw an opportunity to enhance collaboration for long-term success.



Client: Boehringer-Ingelheim (BI)
A research-driven pharmaceutical company focusing on developing innovation therapies to improve the health and quality of life of humans and animals.

Services provided: Workplace strategy 

 


The Concourse


38,000 sq ft


4 months


The Challenge

  • Non-contiguous floors
  • Lack of collaboration across different departments
  • Insufficient meeting venues within current office space 

 

The Approach

  1. Change in working style. Restacked office layout into contiguous floor within office tower, with improved adjacency and more collaboration spaces.

  2. Talent attraction and retention. Designed an upgraded working environment that aligns the space with BI's leadership vision and business needs, as well as promotes the well-being of employees.
