Gensler was engaged by marketing services company LoyaltyOne, to design their offices located in Toronto, Canada.
This 190,000-square-foot head office project comprises 190,000 square feet of interior alterations to a new base building raw space located in Toronto’s up-and-coming downtown east.

The office ecosystem offers choice, balance and focus. Individual work settings consist of focus rooms, phone rooms, height-adjustable workstations, focus pods, window high tops, and booths. Group work settings include large and small enclosed meeting rooms as well as collaborative areas. Community spaces also offer choice and balance, like the agora space, a communal bistro, three outdoor patios, a barista bar, an event space complete with catering kitchen, and on-floor collaboration cafés.
