Inspired by the institution’s vision and mission, Florida International University’s Center for Leadership offices were created to “be a unique resource of leadership research and development, contributing to an increase of transformational leaders.” The center seeks to develop leadership “that transforms and emboldens individuals and organizations to positively impact our world.” The most crucial component of the design was considering how the composition of the workspace could influence employee productivity.

The Center for Leadership offices were designed to encourage best practices in leadership. They enhance employee morale and mental wellness by providing open, clean and inviting workspaces. The new space showcases a beautiful reception area with curved soffits and walls. High ceilings and glass partitions characterize the offices and conference rooms surrounding the open work area. A fresh color scheme and the inclusion of abundant natural lighting revitalized the dark maze-like space into an airy and energetic office.
