Offices
Alvine Engineering is a family-owned mechanical and electrical systems design and consulting firm located in downtown Omaha. The design for Alvine's corporate offices celebrates the innovation that occurs when science, art and business intersect and was achieved by utilizing technology nodes and representing MEPT system technology.
The design program combines a mixture of private office and open work environments, conference spaces, and employee lounges. Design features include feature stairs, social and collaborative spaces, brightly colored accent walls, furniture that expresses the creative energy of the firm, a history display wall showcasing the long history of the firm, acoustical wood panels with LED light fixtures, open visibility to main telecommunication rooms and large exterior windows and glass private office walls to provide employees with beautiful views of downtown and local streetscape.
One interesting design element included clear raised flooring panels in one of the conference rooms so visitors and young engineers could understand what happens under a raised flooring system. The resulting space is a modern solution that exceeded the client's expectations while meeting significant budget constraints.
