Office renovations are worth celebrating because that means a business has accomplished enough growth to make the current function outdated, says Lance Jaccard, Partner at OTJ Architects. In order for a business to develop, constant office renovation is essential to maintain growth.

The architects and designers at OTJ Architects have put together some office design tips to help businesses transform their lackluster office space into an efficient and aesthetically pleasing workplace.

If an office renovation is not in the companys budget, taking simple steps like replacing flooring, repainting the workplace and updating old furniture can drastically rejuvenate and reinvent not just the physical space, but also the morale and confidence of the employees who will enjoy and appreciate its benefits, Jaccard said.

A comfortable, well-ventilated, well-lit and safe workplace will increase productivity as much as 16% and job satisfaction as much as 24%, while reducing absenteeism, according to MakeYourBuildingsWork.com. In an article by CiteHR, some businesses have even seen close to a 150% retention increase once an office has transitioned to a more open workplace design.

OTJ Architects has helped the biggest names in business create their own harmonic and cohesive office spaces featuring fun, vibrant and stimulating open plans that encourage staff to communicate and collaborate. Staying true to each companys heritage and philosophy, OTJs unique design methods reinforce the effective and comfortable maximization of space for employee use and overall company success.
