Intrum received renovations in its first-floor office. The firm constructed a new entrance area that features a modern reception that is accented with a stone wall and recessed sign. There were individual offices and a main conference room installed with door sidelites and wood accents. The kitchen was also improved with new stone countertops and a custom island. The office was then polished off with high-end finishes throughout.

Phase I consisted of the expansion of the tenant’s office into the vacant area next door. The firm added new offices, conference rooms, and restrooms. There was also sophisticated lab space added to the office. Phase II consisted of improvements to the original tenant space including the installation of commercial carpets, a new ceiling at the reception area, and a glass enclosed entrance.
Environmental Health and Engineering received a total interior remodel on the second floor to include new reception, a main conference room, individual offices and an open office area with sit-stand solutions, a full eat-in kitchen, breakout meeting areas with modern tech, and an oversized training room.
