The One Workplace facility in Santa Clara, California, is the new corporate headquarters, showroom, and warehouse facility for one of the largest commercial furniture suppliers in the state. The firm worked closely with developer Prologis and a design and construction team to renovate, reconfigure, and update this existing industrial facility that had previously been used for paper manufacturing. The new space includes 35,000 square feet of modern collaborative open-plan office space that also serves as a showroom for the furniture and modular office pieces that One Workplace sells and installs. The new space also includes 167,000 square feet of updated warehouse space, which involved the addition of around 24 new truck docks.
