Vision Statement:

Design a work environment that fosters innovation, collaboration, and public engagement by shaping the workplace to be physically and psychologically responsive to individual and group needs. Create a branded design solution that respects the past and conveys an inspiring vision of the future to enhance the Lexington/Fayette community.

Guiding Principles:

 

1. Respect the historic integrity of the building.

2. Transform the work environment into the “social heartbeat” – a center of energy and excitement that radiates to all parts of the facility.

3. Emphasize the importance of Lexington’s past and present while formulating a branding strategy for the future.

4. Integrate three-dimensional branding into the environment as a reflection of the organizational culture and as a source of inspiration and motivation for all employees and visitors to develop a shared vision for Lexington and Fayette County.

5. Develop an enhanced working environment that increases work performance by addressing visual and acoustical privacy needs for individuals and groups and provides a sense of personal control over critical aspects of the workplace.

6. Develop a variety of spaces that are equipped with the appropriate tools, technology, equipment, and furniture to support productivity, collaboration, creative thinking, and decision-making.

7. Provide for the flexible arrangement and use of the space to support a variety of work types and groups.

8. Implement sustainable practices in the design and use of the building to model the importance of a strong, healthy environment.

9. Improve the efficiency and organization of the workplace by developing a new system for information sharing and archival data storage.

10. Provide a fluid transition for communication by ad dressing certain adjacencies in the office space that would allow for optimal collaboration.

11. Ensure that clarity, transparency, and openness in the space are preserved in order to communicate a welcoming and understandable physical space and to stimulate civic involvement in local government.
