Project Scope

The scope of work includes consolidation of Finance and Legal Departments to 513 57th Street 5th Floor, totaling to approximately 16,825 USF. See ‘Basic Services’ in the downloadable Proposal for Programming and Design Services descriptions. Our understanding of the project goals are as follows:

  1. Identify various end-user types by space utilization and their percentages of In-Person vs Remote Working.
  2. Space types will be a combination of workstations, private offices, and shared offices.
  3. Smaller groups will be consolidated into an “Agile” workspace environment, which will provide a combination of end-users working remotely and other end users working a “hybrid” of in-person and remote working, during a typical work week.
  4. A workspace “reservation system” will be used through a software solution.
  5. Confirming that there is adequate workspace and conference support space for end-users to work effectively and comfortably will be a key component of the project.
  6. This design effort is to assist ViacomCBS in determining a project schedule and construction budget.
