Challenge
- Major relocation involved moving approximately 500 people into 9500 sqm of office space spread over four floors
- Radical move into a more collaborative, open plan work environment
- Required dynamic, flexible, and compact monitor arm and above desk power solutions
- Wanted to maximise the mobility of their workforce
- Required solutions to enable fluid cross-collaboration between floors and departments
Solution
- 450 triple display mounts to accommodate two monitors as well as a laptop in a space-efficient and ergonomic setup
- Instant, convenient and adjustable access to all the knowledge assets they require for each demanding client contract
- Stylish and contemporary aesthetic to match the Unifor workstations
- Rotation Limiters inserted between the arm and the post to prevent arms banging into the partition behind the screens

Our objective with Barangaroo was to purpose-build a dynamic workspace that supports a culture focused
on outstanding client service. We want a space that will introduce new ways of thinking to meet the
challenges and opportunities which the future is presenting, particularly around major technology
change. Our working style is highly interactive so we need a space to foster ideas and collaboration.
