A New Look for Office Space

 

Welcome to the DOC’s Alternate Work Environments (AWE). OFEQ designed these spaces as a mix of teaming spaces and focus spaces, with options for working in the HCHB in a different way. To embrace the hybrid environment, AWE moves away from standard office spaces and promotes a healthy work culture in a supportive environment.

We hope that these workspaces offer you flexibility, comfort and a place where you can socialize, collaborate and be inspired.

Types of Spaces

 

To make the spaces most useful, each AWE is equipped with Wi-Fi (enabled for all bureaus), click-share connections for the large monitors, and ergonomic furniture.

The spaces are open and available on a first-come, first serve basis. We do ask that you use the areas for work, and not just a lunch break. Also, choose a space that matches the work you are doing, e.g., focused work in an individual area, teamwork in a collaboration area.

 

Change up your day in the office and experience a different work setting.
