Atmosphere Commercial Interiors announces new Worklab centrally located near downtown Madison

Atmosphere Commercial Interiors is excited to announce the opening of their new Worklab centrally located near downtown Madison, Wisconsin. The new space features Community-Based Design—an approach that is characterized by stimulating a feeling of community to help people and organizations flourish. It provides an environment where workers are more likely to have higher levels of engagement, productivity, wellbeing, and belonging which equates with better results.

Susan Enlow, Regional Vice President, describes the move as both a logistical and cultural shift. According to Susan, the former space that once served them well began to hold them back. Divided and disconnected zones made it difficult to communicate and work as a unified team. The move was driven by a clear purpose: to bring teams together. “We envisioned a space that would break down physical barriers and open new possibilities for connection, creativity, and focus…where productivity could thrive.” Potter Lawson was chosen to collaborate with Atmosphere on their new space. The interiors are designed to support individuals and teams with dedicated zones for focused work, collaboration, and rejuvenation with built-in flexibility for each team member to determine the best place to work for their needs throughout the day. The community spaces, including a café and adjoining training room, are now central for social connections, so vital to Atmosphere’s culture.

Equally important is the story told throughout the Worklab. Carlene Wilson, CEO and President of Atmosphere, defines the space as a “strategic asset.” “We are no different than the customers we serve. Our business results and success are predicated upon deeply engaged and inspired team members.” Together with Potter Lawson, Atmosphere used a methodical and analytical process to capture the elements that would reflect “who we are and what we do.” Carlene acknowledges she is “wowed” by the space. “It has a sophisticated, elevated vibe that highlights our energy and positivity.” Carlene is confident it will become a destination for clients and key influencers searching for new ideas to leverage their physical space and strengthen their culture.

Susan emphasizes they were fortunate to have strong partners that helped bring Atmosphere’s vision to fruition. CBRE found the “perfect space with the amenities that will attract and retain the talent we need.” Krupp General Contractors did an “outstanding job meeting critical timelines with crucial attention to detail.” Design firm Potter Lawson created a welcoming space that “sparks the hospitality we know our guests will feel the minute they walk through the door.” The feedback from employees has been rewarding. The words Susan uses to describe the emotions—“Joy. And a renewed sense of purpose and passion.”

In lieu of a formal grand opening, Atmosphere is arranging small, more focused personalized tours. “It’s an open invitation to any firm or organization interested in what we are learning about the changing landscape of work and how we applied it to our own space.”
