's green office makeover was completed on time – within 30 days and about 24 hours. I already posted details about how we cleaned up, reorganized and greened up their office in Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the CL green office makeover series. In part 4.1, you'll see the start of a final walk through that takes you through their office and shows you "before" and "after" video and a recap of what was done. Watch 4.2 to complete the virtual tour and see everything that was achieved. (See videos below.)
Changes and improvements were made in multiple areas throughout the office (in just about every nook and cranny), including the lobby, reception, mail center, sales center, classifieds department, recycling centers, office supplies, lunchroom, editor's workspace, marketing, sales, conference rooms, resource center, event space, and more.
Our goals were to reduce wasted space, maximize storage and workspace, and create convenient, accessible and functional shared supply stations – all to increase functionality and efficiency – which, in turn, saves time and effort and increases productivity.
