L'Oreal NJ

Loreal's office and laboratory facility in Clark, NJ serves the North America, Central America, and South America regions. Ware Malcomb was engaged to design the relocation of a small lab space, finish selection, wayfinding graphics, and branding. The facility houses two labs: a compatibility lab and a homologation lab, but required collaboration and working spaces for it's team. One of the project team’s challenges was increasing the seating capacity in the existing facility while also providing more space for social interaction. This was resolved by working with L’Oréal to implement a new flex space concept and converting the office space from private offices to unassigned open work spaces with an emphasis on collaboration and social interaction. This was the first L’Oréal location in the United States to utilize a flexible seating plan.
