Steelcase Multiple Projects

A longtime successful relationship between Steelcase and Christman has resulted in numerous projects both at their Grand Rapids headquarters and out of state, totaling over $50 million of projects nationwide. Projects have included office renovations, an innovation center, test lab/model shop, executive offices, and cafe space.

The Innovation Center facility supported Steelcase’s staff relocation to the Global Headquarters and the Learning and Education Center. Christman served as construction manager on two projects associated with that move, which included the construction of the renovated Innovation Center as well as the Model Shop and Test Lab projects.

The new Innovation Center was created through the renovation of a vacant manufacturing facility into state-of-the-art office space. Tenants include the designers of Steelcase’s cutting-edge office furniture and environments, and the space is reflective of the company’s modern culture and provides aesthetic inspiration. Some of the highlights include an existing bridge crane that has been repainted a vibrant shade of green, which supports a movable roof structure for a metal stud and drywall room with angled walls, rounded corners and a spiral roof line.
