Growing tech company Quickbase began its new headquarters project at the onset of the pandemic. National workplace strategy and design firm Dyer Brown applied a forward-thinking approach, including a suite of integrated services with consultation on change management communications for the company’s 300-plus employees, as well as furniture selection and environmental graphics.

The 42,000-square-foot headquarters located in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, reflects a major brand overhaul as well as changes in work modes and employee preferences, including some that the pandemic prompted. The design and programming support flexibility and agile workflows, with an impressive array of amenities and gathering areas to promote collaboration and work innovation. Close collaboration among the designers, Quickbase leadership and a steering committee composed of representatives from every Quickbase department produced visible and measurable results. Openplan areas are conceived to rapidly change over to become workstations, making it easy to accommodate future growth, while furniture selection efforts support employee wellbeing and agile work modes.
