When business is doing well and growth has been continuous you may find yourself looking around your facility trying to find more space. These are some things to look out for if you feel like you’re outgrowing your building. Whether its space for clients or space for employees, it might be time to move if you don’t have any more room for people. If employees are sharing offices meant for one person, conference rooms are constantly booked or you have no more desks for new hires you’re likely out of space. When facilities are not designed around workflows, inefficiencies become part of daily operations. Overtime this can end up costing you money. Customers sometimes feel the effects of a too-small space first. Limited parking, overcrowded waiting areas and accessibility changes can all be frustrated. You may start to lose your customers if they aren’t being comfortably accommodated. Growth opportunities end up limited when space is gone. The biggest warning sign can be what isn’t happening. No more new clients? It’s time for a change. Waiting too long to expand or remodel can cost you. When you don’t get ahead of the problem, it can become urgent and then you won’t have time to make well-thought out decisions on your facility. Rushed property purchases, reactive renovations and missed opportunities for long-term planning need to be avoided. Planning ahead leaves time for creativity when finding a new space. In one local case, an old bank was rejuvenated into a new space for an orthodontics office and cafe! What started as a dark, closed-off bank has been transformed into a modern community hub in downtown Flushing. On one side, a cozy and inviting coffee shop & boutique that resides just inside the old vault door with easy access to the original drive-thru. On the other, a modern orthodontics office designed with sleek finishes, a kids’ play area in the waiting room, and plenty of room to grow. Combined, these two spaces make up 2,300 square feet and encompass everything the client wanted for both spaces and more. Sedgewick and Ferweda Architects can help. Don’t make decisions alone.
