The commercial architects and workplace design specialists at OTJ Architects are changing the workplace whether that entails creating an open office or building a sustainable office. These changes to a workplace are milestones that dont happen every day, leaving some employees uncertain and anxious. The architectural design firm is sharing 4 important change management tips to benefit an organization with a smooth transition when either renovating or moving their workplace.
Effective change management allows for a smooth transition, while maintaining productivity and morale, says Lance Jaccard, Partner at OTJ Architects. Each employee is different and adjusts at different rates. Open communication and support during the transition can help everyone cope at their own rate.
The architects and designers at OTJ Architects have put together some change management tips to help businesses when renovating or relocating their offices.
1. Let employees understand what is going to happen and what it means for the organization. This will help them not feel left out and ease the concerns. Help them understand the benefits the change will make for them as well as the organization as a whole. 2. Invite employees to provide feedback on designs. If employees are not happy in their new office, productivity will suffer. This is why it is important to ensure employees will be happy in their new surroundings. 3. Organize meetings to discuss ideas. Let employees share their ideas for the new office. After all, they are the ones who are in the office, using the office day in and day out. They can provide good insights on the functionality needed in the new design. 4. Keep employees in the loop. Change is easier to accept when it is anticipated and gradual. The worst thing to do is force change on employees suddenly.
According to a report by McKinsey & Company, only 30% of change programs are successful. One reason this tends to happen is the failure for management to live up to the promises. An article by Knoll, Inc. states that a 100% buy-in cant be expected at the beginning. Issues must be addressed and communication must remain open to build credibility and acceptance.
Changing offices can be an uneasy time for employees, says Jaccard. Its important to help ease your employees uncertainties by keeping them informed and assisting them understand how these changes will help them as well as the company.

Commercial Architects at OTJ Share Tips and Benefits to Change Management
NEW YORK, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Inspired by its surrounding southwestern landscape, the Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB) at The University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix is one of the most innovative construction projects in the United States utilizing predominately recycled copper. Using nearly 6,000 copper panels and more than 10,000 copper parts, this 268,000 square-foot building consists of six stories of administration and faculty offices, lecture halls, learning studios, flexible classrooms, clinical suites, gross anatomy facilities, laboratories and conference rooms.

The Copper Development Association (CDA), in conjunction with GreenCE, has developed a two-part video case study which further highlights the building materials and craftsmanship of the HSEB project, and the design philosophy and strategy behind the sustainable design and construction of this state-of-the-art facility. Both hour-long videos are registered with the USGBC for continuing education credits and with the American Institute of Architects (AIA), which requires architects to pursue continuing education to maintain their accreditation.
Part one of the case study articulates how the selection and development of a building's site can support the health of the surrounding community and identifies the positive outcomes of using the Integrated Design Process encouraged by LEED Certification. Architects can register for the free online course on the GreenCE website. Part two is also available, here.
"The HSEB wall-cladding system is a custom system that is atypical from industry standard installations and was fully engineered for this extreme desert environment," said Wayne Seale, Project Manager and Architectural Applications Specialist at CDA. "Architects can use this course to not only fulfill their annual CE requirements as architects, but as LEED professionals as well. It allows them to see copper as a real, living material that changes over time and supports the aesthetic and functional intent of their buildings."
Known for its durability, malleability and high ductility, copper can be formed and stretched into complex and intricate surfaces without breaking. The copper cladding for the HSEB is made up of 99 percent recycled material from U.S. copper mills. With a recycling rate higher than that of any other engineering metal, the copper used in the HSEB panels most likely served as a computer part, plumbing fixture, or wiring system several years ago.
Using 26 different copper panels arranged in multiple combinations, the designers were able to create an abstract pattern that represented the surrounding desert landscape, bringing the project's vision to life. "If you look, a lot of the views around here are of the mountains that surround Phoenix. We wanted the color and the striations [of the building] to relate to those mountains," Paul Zajen, Design Principal for CO Architects, states in the video. "We realized we could get that with copper."
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the extensive copper-cladding provides the HSEB with a skin most suitable for the desert climate. With Phoenix temperatures reaching as high as 115 degrees Fahrenheit, copper is an attractive alternative to steel due to its ability to quickly reject heat. Its copper-clad exterior literally serves as a shield protecting the building interior from direct solar exposure. Adapting rainscreen technology, the building's engineers took a system typically used in the northwest and created a way to use copper cladding as a sunscreen to keep excessive heat out of the HSEB. Completed in August 2012, the HSEB project is targeting LEED Silver certification for new construction.
Students at the University of Arizona and Northern University Arizona will be using the Health Sciences Education Building for various programs. The new facility will serve as a training ground for 1,200 medical professionals each year.
