Golba
and Associates - Architecture was retained by this national law
firm to complete the planning and design of an 18,000 square foot
expansion floor, to be compatible with their existing five (5)
floors of office space at this location. Key provisions of the
contract required the design to be compatible with the existing
floor's space design, but incorporating complete computerization
of all work areas, a more logical, open floor layout, offices
for 45 professionals, support staff areas, conference facilities,
and an auxiliary central file room. The automation and support
work area needs posed a unique challenge due to the need to analyze
the existing secretarial station standards for acceptance of

modifications necessary to accommodate new computer equipment.Because
of the density of occupants required, the planning minimized the
effective length of hallways by the careful juxtaposition of solids
and voids to define areas and draw people through the space. The
final result was a new floor of legal offices that is the most densely
populated of the entire firm, yet has the most open and rational
floor design. Since its completion, the design elements established
have become the firm's new standards for this location. Based on
our successful completion of this project, Golba and Associates
- Architecture was retained to renovate the five (5) existing floors
and all ten (10) conference areas.
