How Accolade revitalised Wintech’s headquarters and unlocked growth

A successful workplace transformation.

Wintech are one of the UK’s leading building design engineering consultants for the built environment.  As a successful and expanding company, Wintech faced a challenge familiar to many growing businesses: the need for expanded office space.

It was essential for Wintech to not only expand, but enhance their workspace in a way that aligns with their values and strategic goals.

The Challenge: Expansion with Minimal Disruption

Wintech’s significant growth necessitated expansion of their office space with their existing building.  However, with an increase in staff and ongoing projects, it was critical to undertake this expansion with minimal disruption to their daily operations.

The Solution: A Partnership Rooted in Innovation and Sustainability

Accolade Workspace, know for expertise in optimising workspaces, worked in partnership with Wintech on this ambitious project.  The collaboration focused on three main areas:

  • Designing a Modern Open Plan Office: Accolade and Wintech worked closely to develop a layout that was not only modern and inviting but also promoted open communication and collaboration among staff. The new design broke down physical barriers, encouraging a more cohesive and interactive work environment.
  • Creating a Central Kitchen Space: Recognising the importance of a common area that could serve as the heart of the workplace, Accolade designed a new kitchen space strategically placed to link the old and new workspaces. This area was envisioned as a central hub for employees to gather, collaborate, and rejuvenate, thereby enhancing team cohesion.
  • Commitment to Sustainability: In line with Wintech’s commitment to environmental sustainability, the expansion included the installation of 100mm insulation throughout the building. This initiative not only supported Wintech’s net zero goals but also demonstrated how commercial spaces can be designed with a conscientious approach to energy efficiency and sustainability.

The Execution: Phased and Precise

Understanding the importance of maintaining business continuity, Accolade phased the project to fit seamlessly around Wintech’s operational requirements. This strategic phasing ensured that each stage of the expansion was completed with minimal disruption to Wintech’s day-to-day activities, allowing the company to continue its vital work without compromise.

The Outcome: A Space Transformed

The partnership between Wintech and Accolade Workspace resulted in a revitalized office environment that not only meets the functional needs of an expanding workforce but also creates a space that employees are proud to be a part of. The new design promotes increased interaction and productivity, while the focus on sustainable practices underscores Wintech’s role as a responsible leader in the built environment industry.
