In response to the company’s growth, Cincinnati-based Divisions Maintenance Group (DMG) partnered with architectural firm Luminaut to create a dynamic corporate headquarters. DMG representatives aimed to build a space that fosters an immersive environment, inspiring employees to work hard while embracing a vibrant work-life balance. The reimagined workspace spans three large floors of an existing building and is more than 100,000 square feet.
With a team of more than 650 individuals, the headquarters accommodates diverse work styles, tasks and needs, seamlessly integrating collaborative areas and dedicated zones for focused work. Spacious training rooms prioritize flexibility and adaptability. To amplify the company’s high-energy and ambitious culture, Luminaut strategically designed cafés throughout the headquarters; each café offers a distinctive vibe with unique styles of seating. These areas allow employees to choose the ambiance that best suits their current needs and preferences. Additionally, Luminaut conveniently located print and coffee stations near workstations to ensure easy accessibility.
DMG’s workplace radiates the boldness, sharp energy, and intensity that define the company’s work-hard, play-hard culture.
