Long:

PLASTARC harnesses social research to optimize organizational performance. Drawing on deep knowledge of real estate, architectural design, technology, and the environment, our people-centric approach to design aims to transform work environments and support occupants at every stage from pre-design through post-occupancy.

Our approach mixes quantitative and qualitative research with innovative engagement techniques to enable the development of integrated workplace strategy. We support organizations to transition to new spaces and workplace practices through change leadership. Our commitment to continuous research enables innovation and learning in fields tied to work, human behavior and cognition, and we are actively engaged in academic research, publishing and continuing education.

We take every client engagement as an opportunity to advance understanding in the discipline of workplace, productivity and innovation; we see our clients as research partners. We also believe that supporting people with spaces that enhance their performance, comfort, and satisfaction at work—where they spend a significant proportion of their waking hours—is an act of service. Our goal is to make the world a better place, one workplace at a time.
