Inspiring Design for
Life-Changing Spaces

Create a workspace that accelerates
collaboration and innovation

We have a passion for designing laboratories and pharmaceutical workspaces, and working with CEOs to understand their company’s purpose and mission.

In today’s new work landscape, we know certain projects can be accomplished from different locations. However, we know that the work of high-speed research and development also requires a future-proofed physical location in which specific steps and activities can be carried out.

We love to help our clients reimagine their facilities through the use of future-proofed design, adaptable equipment and cutting-edge technology - all of which work to increase collaboration and bring new therapies to patients faster.

For over 30 years, RI Workplace has been a trusted partner in designing and renovating specialized workspaces across New York.

If you're in the life sciences sector, your lab or research facility deserves a space that promotes innovation, enhances collaboration, supports wellbeing, and integrates cutting-edge technology and sustainable design practices.

Let us help you create a state-of-the-art workspace tailored to your unique needs, positioning your team for success in a competitive and fast-evolving industry.

Challenge:

Gramercy Cardiac Diagnostic Services was experiencing challenges with its outdated workspace. The space wasn’t modern or welcoming enough; workflow was inefficient and, most significantly, the space didn’t truly convey its deep passion for patient care.

Solution:

We carried out an all-in-one design/build solution, starting with the creation of an optimized floor plan to enhance workflow and address space inefficiencies. After finalizing the layout, we incorporated beautiful finishes, artwork, and vibrant colors to create a welcoming, cheerful, and bright space, where patients would feel comfortable and well cared for.

Furthermore, our technical expertise was instrumental in reinforcing a portion of the floor space and integrating lead-lined infrastructure for a new PET scanner. This enhanced Gramercy’s diagnostic capabilities, and its reputation for being the leading medical facility worldwide in performing life-saving diagnostic cardiac PET scans.
