Workplace strategy for 3,000-employee Abu Dhabi government headquarters project.
Abu Dhabi Government Entity Workspace Strategy Case Study
01 The Opportunity
A government entity in Abu Dhabi needed a workplace strategy for its headquarters to accommodate over 3,000 employees. The plan had to address zoning, security, and adjacency requirements while ensuring an efficient and functional work environment. Expert guidance was required to optimize the workspace while adhering to government security protocols and organisational structure.
02 The Solution
We developed a comprehensive workplace strategy optimized for 3,000 personnel, integrating a detailed zoning plan to meet security and operational needs. To improve workflow efficiency, we designed optimized space layouts and evaluated various design options, providing clear implementation recommendations. The final strategy was aligned with business objectives, supported by strategic reports on design principles, and included success metrics for ongoing evaluation.
03 The Approach
We collected extensive data through workshops, stakeholder engagement, and on-site studies to assess space utilization. Workplace metrics were analysed, benchmarked against best practices, and aligned with the organisation's vision through regular meetings. Multiple spatial scenarios and operational strategies were developed, incorporating security requirements, workplace zoning, and design principles tailored to the entity's workflow.
