POWERFUL ANALYTICS

R3A utilized a variety of strategies for determining the optimal workplace environment for Summa’s culture. These strategies informed: environmental visioning, space-planning concept development, staff workflow analysis, client interaction and experience strategies, and departmental programming and spatial adjacency analysis.

COLLABORATIVE PLACING

R3A was also involved in assisting Summa Technology in the evaluation and analysis of potential office lease space. During this process R3A provided summary and documentation of existing infrastructure (including mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems), spatial compatibility with the client’s vision and company workflow, building security, and context amenities for several potential lease spaces. Using this documentation, R3A performed test fit studies and right-sizing analysis to assist Summa in selection of their ultimate headquarters location.The final location in the historic Alcoa Building in downtown Pittsburgh required coordination with the City Historic Preservation Commission to introduce a communal stair which spanned two existing floors within the building.
