Indiana Michigan Power Center – Corporate Headquarters
Fort Wayne, Indiana
After years of operation, the offices of Indiana Michigan Power were unevenly distributed across various floors of a 26-story office tower. The unconnected spaces were outdated, disjointed, and full of a combination of different furniture systems and technologies collected over the years. They needed a new, vibrant space that was cohesive, collaborative, and captured the dynamic spirit of their brand.
The renovation of the Indiana Michigan Power offices consolidated the employees to the top ten floors of their building. The existing concrete waffle slab was exposed to celebrate the architectural detail and history of the existing building and to give extra volume to each floor. Offices were designed to be open and inclusive, utilizing glass wherever possible to promote connection and to allow natural light to reach far into the office core. The 17th floor features a large café space, fitness area, and private fitness studio with locker rooms. The 18th floor is now dedicated to conferencing and provides a variety of collaboration spaces ranging from smaller training rooms to large group meeting areas.
