Creating a More Efficient & Collaborative Workspace
Office Refresh & Renovation | Berwyn, PA
DPR was hired by a confidential technology customer to renovate their existing 12,000-sq.-ft. office space in Berwyn, PA. Their office needed a refreshed design, along with teledata upgrades to increase operational speed and efficiency. Challenged with a 13-week schedule and tight budget, the renovation also had to be completed while fully occupied. DPR worked alongside the customer to split the project into two phases, to minimize disruptions throughout construction.

Project Details
Once the construction plan was established, DPR divided the floor plan into phases A and B, separating the areas by a protective barrier. At that time, the customer relocated their employees to Phase B so selective demolition and construction could begin in Phase A. Once completed, the customer's employees were relocated back to Phase A so construction could be finished in Phase B. Since both work areas had minimal laydown space, the DPR team had to carefully coordinate material deliveries around those with immediate installation.
Phase A encompassed a majority of the floor plan including the main office space, conferencing areas, and meeting rooms. Phase B included the reception desk, break area, and additional workstations. Overall, the newly refreshed office received new flooring throughout, painted walls, glass film, graphic wall vinyl, two wood walls, a moss wall, new owner furnished furniture, acoustical wall panels, and upgraded electrical/teledata.
DPR maintained an excellent working relationship with the customer, Cushman & Wakefield, and Brandywine Realty Trust throughout the renovation. Additionally, the project was completed under budget, and ahead of schedule.
