The celebration of Peckham’s new Phoenix headquarters came with a pomp and circumstance unlike many other projects, largely because it is an organization that defines employee centric. The story and mission of Peckham, Inc. is inspiring and remarkable. Every detail, every moment, every decision was made to ensure there were proper accommodations for the workforce so as maintain their mission to develop the potential of people with disabilities and other barriers to employment. As a witness to the mission in built form, our team was equally in awe of the executives speaking at the office’s grand opening.

Colors were chosen specifically to illicit feelings of calmness and safety for the employees. Modifying a hallway with a curved wall so it bends with the natural light instead of feeling endless. The integration of an Art Room and cutting in 26 new 6’x6′ windows make this office more than just “a place to work.” The stories of the organization are impressive, and the pride employees have is unmatched.

The new 88,000 square foot headquarters for Peckham Phoenix represents not only an upgraded workspace, but a direct response to what employees need to be successful.
