Dena’ina Wellness Center
NEW CONSTRUCTION | KENAI, AK
Scope: Assist the design firm and their client to develop a plan to consolidate staff and services within a new building in Kenai, AK. The facility was required to reflect the client’s culture while at the same time integrating multiple service providers into a team setting. We engaged the staff members of the various departments to better understand their workflow and create an analysis of their new integrated work setting. Using on-site meetings, individual feedback, and computer conferencing, we developed a broad picture of how the various components within the organization can better work together. With this plan in mind, Think Office designed an Integrated Workspace that included modular workstations, consultation areas, and educational spaces. This comprehensive furniture package not only helped the client’s organization function at a higher level but also remained consistent with their mission statement that focused on serving the needs of the Kenaitze people.
