Corporate Office Reconfiguration in Reading

PROJECT overview

Reconfiguring a pre-pandemic office layout to meet the needs of a growing hybrid workforce.

The client originally fitted out their offices in Thames Tower, Reading, prior to the pandemic and before the surge in hybrid working. During this time, their workforce increased significantly and the office was no longer able to accommodate their needs, with a lack of private meeting rooms the main constraint.

THE CHALLENGE

A constrained, dated space that had to keep working around live operations

A lack of private meeting rooms limited the office's ability to accommodate the growing workforce.

Existing M&E and HVAC infrastructure needed careful consideration to keep costs down during installation.

A complex landlord approval process required detailed designs and a clear action plan before works could begin.

OUR SOLUTION

Nine new private meeting spaces delivered with minimal disruption.

Working closely with the Office Management team, Glenside developed a scheme creating nine new private meeting spaces with minimal impact on existing systems. The client's operations remained live throughout, achieved on programme through careful planning and detailed collaboration with the Building Management team.
