LT worked in close coordination with the VA and the General Services Administration to develop an alternative workplace strategy that shifted traditional office layouts toward a more open, collaborative environment. The design approach focused on flexibility and adaptability, supporting evolving work styles and the needs of a younger workforce.
A key challenge was integrating these new workplace hubs within the constraints of the existing floor plates while ensuring appropriate access to natural light, power, and data throughout the space.
The renovated areas introduced a series of open work zones and breakout spaces of varying sizes, all designed to support collaboration and video conferencing. These spaces enhanced connectivity between VA regions and improved engagement with Veterans across the country. The project contributed to an ongoing, phased renovation effort, establishing a scalable model for future workplace modernization initiatives within the agency.
