Borton-Lawson
Borton-Lawson has made significant renovations to their office in Wilkes-Barre, including the addition of advanced technology to increase collaboration, the creation of an open workspace layout with natural light flow, and smaller offices boosting energy and productivity. New informal collaboration spaces provide spaces for quick discussions, breakout sessions, and allow for stand-up meetings. New work stations allow for increased day-to-day collaboration and teamwork among multi-disciplined teams. Their offices are now smaller and located towards the core of the building, and have glass fronts which allow natural light to flow into these spaces, boosting energy and productivity. The renovations have transformed Borton-Lawson’s original space from a traditional corporate setting. As their industry, working styles, and communication techniques continue to change, Borton-Lawson is committed to adapting to best serve its clients and employees.
