CEOs are focused on growth, innovation and culture. To attract the best and brightest, companies should consider what message their workplace is portraying. Does it reflect the culture they strive for? Does it support and inspire their team to do their best work? Does it offer spaces to collaborate and build trust?
We explored all aspects of wellness in 2019 from physical and mental wellbeing, to environmental, community and financial wellbeing. Our “NBS Cares” campaign aimed to encourage us as a company and individually to better ourselves, even if it was just a small first step in the right direction.
The love and enthusiasm people have for their pets never ceases to amaze us! For the second time, NBS launched a casting all among metro Detroit Real Estate and Architectural & Design firms looking for photogenic pets to take part in our Fur + Furniture Calendar.
We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our Troy headquarters renovation for 2019. Walking through the front doors, the space takes on a whole new life – color, texture, architectural elements and a variety of work settings greet you. The expansion and renovation began earlier this year to support our growing team.
New ways of working have driven demand for different kinds of spaces at work. With these spaces comes an exciting time for end users and designers to access so many different ancillary products, options and choices to create unique and welcoming areas that blur the edges of home and work.
This is the seventh year Crain’s Detroit has produced the Cool Places to Work list, highlighting companies that, according to their employees, go above and beyond in putting focus on workplace culture. A third-party firm assessed the ratings and comments, compared against all applicants, and then determined top 100.
Unique architectural elements can be a focal point for a space. When our team came together to design the new NBS Experience Center, one of the goals was to highlight the in-house solutions we can provide for our clients. Every space has its challenges and for us, it’s our 13’ high ceilings.
This year at NeoCon, over 500 commercial design manufacturers from around the world came together to showcase their innovative new products. They compete to stand out and draw a buzz among visitors and exhibitors. After exploring the Merchandise Mart for three days, these are some of the coolest new products we saw.
NeoCon featured a wide array of different and innovative products to shape how we work in the office. With offices becoming more open and more collaborative, finding space to complete heads down work and avoid distractions has become an issue that needs to be addressed in today’s market.
Members of the NBS team had the opportunity to attend NeoCon this year, the annual commercial design conference in Chicago. As we explored the Steelcase showroom, here are some of the top trends we noticed.
NBS has been named a 2018 Steelcase Premier Partner recipient for the seventh consecutive year – placing us in the top 5% of dealerships throughout the U.S. and Canada. We are so honored to have been recognized for this award yet again!
Work on our showroom expansion began in February – and at ninety days into the project, we are wrapping up the second phase of our renovation. This included a 4,000 sq. ft. buildout into our existing warehouse by our own NBS Construction Solutions team.
Wellbeing is a buzz word popping up all over workplaces. What does a focus on wellbeing do for employees and what kinds of activities are possible? NBS is exploring all aspects of wellness in 2019, from physical and mental wellbeing, to environmental, community and financial wellbeing.
To better serve Southeast Michigan with our NBS Architecture + Furniture + Technology (AFT) capabilities, we’ve merged our Clawson and Troy locations as of January 28, 2019! This move will also improve synergy and communication between these two teams who work closely together.
We are excited to share one of our client’s workspaces was recently featured in the December issue of Great Lakes by Design Magazine! The Skillman Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on improving the lives of children in Detroit. Their work focuses on education, economy and equity for Detroit youth.
Whether a space is large or small, simple or complex, thoughtful design considerations allow a space to perform and attention to detail can really tell a great story. The 30-day ‘design pop-up’ in the Foundation Studio, located within The Detroit Foundation Hotel, was the perfect place to share such a narrative.
NBS believes in supporting and educating students in our industry to help set them up for future success. Throughout the year, we host student tours, workshops and even hosted a design competition this past February, with the goal of exposing them to career possibilities and connecting them with vendors in our industry.
At NBS, we believe that the skillful integration of architecture, furniture and technology (AFT) can enhance how people perform, increase their engagement in their work and lead to improved business results. We have built our business and approach to the workplace around this principle.
NBS is proud to share that our client, Defiance College, has been awarded a Steelcase Education Active Learning Center Grant! Defiance is among sixteen educational institutions to receive an active learning classroom this year valued at approximately $67,000 and includes design, furniture, installation and on-site training.
Striving to create a safe, engaging and productive place to work is top of mind for many organizations. But what about a “cool” place to work? From wellbeing initiatives, social events and benefit perks, organizations are seeing the value of creating workplace environments where people want to come to work, connect and find purpose.
Students need technology, technology needs power. Mobile devices have multiplied over the last decade, resulting in the need for additional power in spaces where learning and work happens. This has become clear in today’s leading education settings where more technology than ever before is being used in classrooms, media centers and in-between spaces.
NBS jumped at the chance to support Gensler Detroit for the second year on their classroom renovation with City Year Detroit. The two organizations have been partnering for years to transform classrooms in lower income cities to provide students the opportunity to learn in inspiring and productive environments.
Design trends at NeoCon included very little workstations with “ancillary” being the new “primary.” It’s all about the collaborative spaces, lounge furniture, cross over spaces, and phone booths or quiet rooms. Color trends were sort of mixed this year.
