Abuja, Nigeria
March, 2001
The Challenge: Furnish both floors of the new USAID building with 100 workstations in 10 working days using panel systems furniture.
Space plans had been drawn, furniture and furnishings had been ordered and shipped to the new USAID building, and Nova's installation team had arrived on-site to manage and supervise the job. Nova's install team trained local staff to assemble and install the furniture. Since the installation of panel systems furniture is no small feat, Nova's Project Manager was on-hand to supervise every phase of the process.
What was once a large open space was transformed into a conglomeration of private offices featuring sliding doors and glass partitions for privacy. Nova's technician enabled the wiring, leaving a finished work area that was ready for use.
Using Teknion panel systems furniture, team Nova successfully turned a static environment into a dynamic work space, configured to meet the needs of the individuals occupying the space. Each workstation combines worksurfaces, storage and wiring capabilities to accommodate the people who use them. Teknion's panel systems furniture brings simplicity to the complex task of designing an attractive, efficient worksetting. It is designed for an evolving workplace and a dynamic workforce.
