Aria is the creative force behind such other distinctive residential projects as The Bond in DC’s West End and the award-winning historic restoration of The Alden in Columbia Heights. with a wide variety of forward- thinking spaces that accommo- date their business needs now and into the future. Associates experience consistent and recog- nizable navigation on all floors, allowing for easier travel to and from spaces within their neighborhood. Perhaps most notable is the activity-based planning model that formed the basis of all planning within the workplace. Workstations were reduced in size, but the design team provided a multitude of teaming and privacy areas to support their work activities. Additionally,individual assign- ment of private offices has been eliminated within the work en- vironment, including company executives. “It was an honor to work with Forest City and its team to create a dynamic new work- space that supports their ever- changing business needs,” said Debbie Donley , founder and principal at Vocon. “We are pleased to help advance For- est City’s mission by creating a productive and energetic workspace for employees and clients.” Moving to modern offices in Key Tower has allowed the organization to reduce its footprint by 40%, but more im- portantly provides Forest City the workplace that supports its redefined organization and supports future growth and success.
