The RA is looking for a meaningful change in its workspace our team is required to research  analyze and reconfigure the workspace to better service its users, optimize their performance, increase employee morale and belonging. Some of the employees are beginning to get attracted to more trendy sectors or banks offering competitive benefits. Except there’s a twist, our research and proposal for the project will take place in two different buildings respectively. Our challenge is to achieve these needs by analyzing the currently occupied location and apply our research learnings to their move back to the headquarters at Burlington Gardens. We developed a comprehensive research package to help the Royal Academy identify and develop its work culture to be designed into an enriching office environment upon their return to their HQ at Burlington Gardens.
