Sustainability is a core focus of KPMG and this was conveyed through the use of sustainable materials and products and the goal to seek LEED Gold Certification.
The KPMG Edmonton project focused on the objective of ensuring that the workspace that was created conveyed the KPMG business objectives, values and culture. KPMG’s values such as leading by example, working together, open and honest communication and acting with integrity are reflected in the interior office environment and the culture is rooted in these values.
The KPMG tenant improvement was developed on the 21st and 22nd floors of the new Kelly Ramsey Building in downtown Edmonton. This project involved the relocation of the existing KPMG offices from a formerly traditional environment in an adjacent building to a leading edge, modern, open office interior with breathtaking views.
The 21st floor focused on staff space including primarily open office configurations dispersed with low file work areas and lounge spaces flooded with natural light. Surrounding the interior core are meeting rooms and a small number of closed offices.
The staff amenities on this floor feature the K-Café including a kitchen, seating and lounge space, LCD screens, a fire place and recreational opportunities. This staff floor is connected to the 22nd public floor by an interconnected staircase allowing informal flow and promoting collaboration amongst the 2 floors.
The 22nd floor includes a spacious reception/waiting area off of the elevator lobby positioned to capitalize on the best view of the city landscape. This floor includes many meeting rooms of varying sizes, back of house spaces and additional office space.
