Ted Heisler Heisler: “Technology is a big part of Thales’ business and is readily available by WiFi and video conferencing to keep staff connected across time zones.”

IRVINE, CA—By including acoustical privacy early in the planning process, organizations will capitalize on a more-productive work environment in offices, Ted Heisler, VP, interior architecture and design, for Ware Malcomb, tells GlobeSt.com. As we recently reported, the firm recently completed construction on the Thales Group offices located at 53 Discovery here, providing interior-architecture-and-design, branding and civil-engineering services for the project.

The 61,000-square-foot project for the firm—a French multinational company that designs and builds electrical systems and provides services for the aerospace, defense, transportation and security markets—incorporates modern technology in a flexible open work environment. A highlight of the new offices is the Customer Experience Center, where Thales’ client base of major airlines can experience first-hand Thales’ innovative solutions. The center enables customers to set up their own work space in small conference rooms and includes a coffee bar, snacks and refreshments, as well as a business center and multicultural prayer room. The space features product displays, video walls and breakout lounge areas with flat screens.
