| Cott Beverage Corporation: A Totally Refreshing Office |
| |
|
 As the world’s largest retail-brand soft drink provider and one of the world’s largest non-alcoholic beverage companies, Cott Corporation has operations in more than 60 countries around the globe.
The company wanted its new corporate headquarters facility in the Tampa area to reflect its unique corporate culture, while at the same time staying within budget and time constraints. The new headquarters houses some 175 employees in 45,000 square feet of office space.

| Breaking Down Walls |
|
Cott shared with Storr that it envisioned a completely open office space with no partitions over 30 inches high. Their goal was to encourage collaboration and open communication. Cott wanted to make a radical departure from the traditional cubicle approach.

Outside the Box, Still Within Budget |
|
Storr - together with Angela Davis of the York+Davis Design Studio based in St. Petersburg - was able to create a customized open plan solution that met the height restrictions set by Cott. Steelcase components were used throughout the facility and the end result was a completely open environment for all employees. The space incorporates various collaborative areas, conference rooms, and other informal meeting settings such as a game room and café that are intermixed with the workstations.

"Creating the right environment to foster the culture and values we espouse was the goal of this project. As such, every element of design and construction was critical in creating that ideal working experience for our people. Storr was a fantastic partner in helping us find the furniture that not only helped us achieve our design goals, but was functional and within our budget. We very much appreciated our experience and relationship with the great people at Storr Office Environments.” |
