“To Seismic or Not to Seismic?” – Million Dollar Demountable Wall question….. Seismic bracing and Demountable walls have always shared an un-spoken understanding in years past.?If installing on the West Coast, the relationship went hand-in-hand; Demountable Walls + Seismic Brace = 2-Peas-in-a-pod.?You didn’t have one without the other, while everywhere else across the US… not so much. As the years have passed, the relationship lines have blurred.?More and more states have adopted the Seismic Bracing codes, as the earth continues to find its voice and ‘shout out loud’, in places where silence was once golden. This Hazard map from the 2023 50-state update of the National Seismic Hazard Model Project indicates just how far movement in the earth’s core has travelled and continues to expand. Hazard map from the 2023 50-state update of the National Seismic Hazard Model Project | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov) We can no longer assume where our walls need additional bracing, we must now make it a point to ask the “million dollar question”.?In most cases your local installer or GC can provide the answers, and if not, the local planning dept inspector can lead you in the right direction.?It may take a little longer to get to the right source, but I promise you, it’s worth the extra time when you consider the alternative. #SeismicBracing #DemountableWalls?#EarthquakeSafety #BuildingCodes #SeismicDesign #StructuralSafety #HazardMap

What does sustainability mean in the commercial design community? In this article, JLL makes the case for building more sustainable commercial buildings. They describe (3) factors that influence this shift in sustainability: 1. Tenant Demand: growing focus on reducing carbon footprints and meeting company’s sustainability goals 2. Regulatory Pressure: increased code and regulation requirements 3. Financial Benefits and Risks: sustainable buildings attract premium tenants, allows for higher rents and cheaper financing. The risk of not adopting sustainable design would result in reduced tenant interest and higher cost implications for not having spaces that do not meet current standards. Check out the rest of this quick read about the modern-day challenges when designing for the future. https://lnkd.in/gBTZss-b #sustainability #sustainabledesign #designforfuture #gogreen

In recent years, one of the most pressing challenges across industries has been the declining availability of skilled labor. From construction to manufacturing, the labor shortage is impacting timelines, budgets, and the ability to meet project demands. But where challenges arise, innovation steps in. At Fellowes, we understand that efficient, adaptable solutions are more critical than ever. Our Architectural Solutions offer a way to mitigate the effects of labor shortages by streamlining construction and simplifying installation. Unlike traditional construction methods that require intensive labor on-site, our modular walls are pre-fabricated for quick and easy installation. This reduces the need for large work crews and cuts down installation time significantly, without compromising on quality or customization. As businesses continue to evolve, so must their workspaces. With modular walls, companies can build out or reconfigure their spaces quickly without the labor-intensive effort of tearing down and rebuilding permanent walls. This flexibility means fewer labor hours and a faster turnaround for updating workspaces. Our architectural solutions are designed for ease of installation, reducing reliance on specialized labor. Whether it’s through simple assembly processes or integrated technologies, we’re helping our clients get their spaces up and running faster, even with smaller crews. As the landscape of the workforce continues to shift, Fellowes remains committed to providing innovative solutions that address today’s challenges head-on. By leveraging the power of modular design, we can help businesses navigate labor shortages while creating adaptable, high-performing workspaces.

Learning environments have transformed post-pandemic, with phygital learning—a blend of physical and digital elements—likely here to stay. This approach enhances education by integrating digital tools with in-person instruction. The phygital form of learning may alter not only the classroom but also the campus. Hybrid higher education is likely to need less dedicated instructional space, making flexibility a priority for the master plan.? Architectural systems allow for the efficient use of available space, making it possible to create multifunctional areas and ensure that every square foot of the educational environment is utilized to its fullest potential. Education environments are constantly evolving, and modular wall systems are designed with this in mind. These systems are generally low-maintenance and can be easily upgraded as needs change. New technology or educational tools can be integrated without requiring major renovations. This ease of maintenance and adaptability ensures that learning spaces remain up-to-date and functional. Fellowes Contract Interiors offers a complete range of wall systems that are flexible, affordable, and sustainable.? Visit us at EdSpaces Nov 12-14, 2024, in Houston, TX booth #2038 to explore our architectural systems for flexible learning. https://ed-spaces.com/ #learningspaces #educationalspaces #schooldesign #campusdesign #modularwallsystems
