United States Department of Justice,
Antitrust Division (DOJ ATR)

The Department of Justice Antitrust Division (DOJ ATR) embarked on a workplace transformation to align with modern workstyles and optimize their office space. This initiative was part of a broader strategy to embrace hybrid work while ensuring that the workplace remained functional, efficient, and supportive of employee needs.

One of the key outcomes was a 30% reduction in overall space, amounting to a decrease of 150,000 USF, achieved without sacrificing essential functions. This was made possible through a comprehensive strategy engagement. DOJ ATR embraced a progressive workplace solution by implementing unassigned, universal offices. This design maintained a balanced array of support spaces, including a conference center and a moot courtroom, ensuring that the space met the division's functional needs. The new office floors are divided into neighborhoods, fostering collaboration and flexibility. The transition to this new model was guided by a robust change management process, ensuring employee engagement and a smooth adaptation to the new environment. This thoughtful, integrated approach resulted in a dynamic and efficient workplace that supports the division’s evolving needs.
