HACE Office Expansion
To accommodate HACE’s growing social and economic enrichment programs for their neighborhood, CICADA worked with HACE to create additional office space that addresses their collaborative work style, allows for the consolidation of departments, and improves the quality of the working environment for staff and visitors. The light-filled second-floor offices float above the expanded workshop and storage facilities on the ground floor. Private offices flank a central workspace, staff lounge, and balcony that overlooks a courtyard.
The first floor community room was enlarged within the addition and adjacent storage was added. A larger, newly constructed maintenance warehouse frees up existing space for a new separate management office. The second floor expansion contains additional offices, a flexible breakout workspace, and a kitchenette with a deck. A new large conference room is positioned at the threshold of the existing and new office spaces.
HACE builds just and equitable neighborhoods for residents and small businesses of Eastern North Philadelphia. We build neighborhoods of choice by designing affordable housing and commercial spaces, providing supportive services, engaging residents and stakeholders, and supporting small businesses to grow the neighborhood’s economic base and increase job opportunities to nurture the community’s rich cultural diversity.
