Brookaire Company

RI Workplace designs and delivers a brand new corporate headquarters for Brookaire Company in East Rutherford, New Jersey to accommodate rapid growth.

Situation:

Brookaire Company is a manufacturer and distributor of HVAC supplies. The pandemic led to a significant increase in demand for their air filter products and they quickly outgrew their office and manufacturing facility in Carlstadt, New Jersey. To keep up with demand, they needed more staff and additional space to ensure they could operate efficiently. They purchased a large new building in East Rutherford, New Jersey to serve as their corporate headquarters as well as their manufacturing facility.

Solution:

• RI Workplace provided design-build services to completely revamp the empty building into an exciting new workplace.
• The outdated second floor was gutted and transformed into a modern environment with spacious private offices, a café centered on the mezzanine so employees could enjoy outside views, several restrooms, a huddle room for team collaboration, and an open workstation area designed with Brookaire’s colors.
• The first floor was designed with an impressive entryway to welcome clients, an open area where staff could enjoy a game of ping-pong and a large café with lockers and ample seating for warehouse employees.
• In the warehouse, lighting was replaced with fixtures that allowed Brookaire to take advantage of NJSEA’s energy efficiency incentive, receiving a rebate.
• Detailed electrical requirements for production machinery were addressed to ensure maximum efficiency in their manufacturing processes.
• Employee morale has been enhanced and Brookaire feels they are now in a much better position to attract and retain top talent.
• Because the office layout was designed with future growth in mind, we recently were able to add another four offices and two private meeting booths without disrupting their existing layout.

In the words of Brookaire:

“It was a great experience working with RI Workplace, the pleasure is ours. Everything has been delivered as promised and we are happy with the results.”
