For over 100 years, Steelcase
has helped create great experiences
for the world’s leading organisations,
across industries. Their aim is to
offer a comprehensive portfolio of
architecture, furniture and technology
products and services designed to
amplify performance of companies,
fuel engagement of employees,
unlock human promise and support
social, economic and environmental sustainability.
The biggest challenge for the project was experienced in trying to procure local products
and skills that met the performance requirements set out in the Green Star and LEED
accreditation requirements. Through this process it became clear that an onus needs to
be placed on leveraging African creativity and innovation to solve market demands within
the local green building sector.
From an operational point of view, the building/fit out is new in its approach, and its
spatial planning and flexible nature do not fit the standard mould. Accordingly, constant
training and user outreach is being undertaken by the Facilities Management team to
establish a user guide, with teething issues being addressed in the mechanical systems
with regards to user comfort and system usage.
One of the major successes of the project was the inter-disciplinary collaboration
between architect, client and professional team in working towards the Green Star and
LEED accreditations. Occupation of the Innovation Centre commenced in June 2016.
