CLIENT GOALS

To promote health and wellness to the employees of this Fortune 500 company, a fitness center was planned. The goal was to encourage a healthy lifestyle for employees, culminating in a healthy workforce, reduction in lost time due to sickness, increased productivity, and an amenity for employees, and to assist in recruitment efforts. A significant challenge was that the only space available in the corporate headquarters to accommodate this was below grade, severely limiting a couple of important trends in wellness center design, transparency and day-lighting.

SOLUTIONS

The below grade and underutilized space in their corporate headquarters building was converted into a bright and lively fitness center. Program elements include a running/walking track, fitness center with equipment, exercise studios with scheduled classes and on demand virtual instructors, reception desk, administrative offices, and juice bar area.

RESULTS

The new fitness center has been a hit. Usage of the facilities has been robust since the opening. Feedback from Erie Insurance indicates that the fitness center far exceeds their expectations for this once dreary and underutilized space.
