IA designed a high-impact workplace and an interactive learning environment for a non-profit organization's relocation.
UNCF decided to further enhance their mission by moving their Headquarters from the suburb of Fairfax, Virginia to the center of Washington, DC. “UNCF moved into a new building in the Shaw Howard Corridor of Washington, DC, to demonstrate its commitment to the community, as well as for the convenient proximity to Howard University,” says Carol Doering, senior project manager with IA in Washington, DC. “IA strove to help UNCF connect to its surrounding community with an open floor plan, giving employees visual access to the neighborhood around them.”
A varied roster of of end users—employees, students, alumni, donors, and university supports—all utilize the new space. UNCF’s values of transparency, collaboration, and unity are physically supported throughout the space, which includes a gallery space to host events and rotating exhibitions.
