Heritage WaterWorks Renovation // Guelph, ON
A historic workplace refined through strategic planning, workflow optimization, and acoustic control
Heritage Water Works is enhanced through strategic space planning and workplace programming, shaping its renovated industrial architecture into a contemporary municipal workplace that supports today’s office needs. The pre-existing layout consists of open office zones, a front reception and waiting area, a lunchroom, and a range of enclosed and informal meeting spaces to support varied modes of work. Acoustic wall panels and an integrated sound system temper reverberation within the building’s hard surfaces, improving comfort without compromising material authenticity. A diversity of desk formats and storage solutions accommodate individual preferences and shared functions, supporting flexibility, collaboration, and day-to-day functionality within this restored historic setting.
