Barr’s Grand Rapids, Michigan, office recently moved to a new location. With the addition of 13 new staff members in the past 15 months, the local team had outgrown the previous location. The new space accommodates the expanded team as well as offers upgraded office aesthetics and functionality, providing an improved experience for employees and clients.
“The new office space prepares us to meet the needs of our clients and employees in the new flexible work environment well into the future,” said Chris Miron, vice president and senior chemical engineer at Barr. “Improved spaces for staff collaboration and state-of-the-art technology will allow us to efficiently complete work on our clients’ behalf.”
The new office, which opened in late November, allows for safe in-person and hybrid working, making it easier to interact on projects and meet with clients. The conference rooms and smaller “teaming” rooms are equipped with video conferencing capabilities and are soundproofed to allow for online interactions without distracting colleagues in nearby workspaces.
“Architecturally, the office is designed with a theme that reflects the Great Lakes and the outdoor experience in Michigan with lots of blue and wood tones,” Miron said. “We even named our conference rooms after Michigan rivers as they inspire the work we do every day.”
The new office is located at 3033 Orchard Vista Drive SE, Suite 200, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.
