NIKE OHIO
NIKE has decided to open an Ohio branch of their California-based company. Their intention is to gain a stronger brand presence and market in the midwest. They have chosen Avon Lake for this facility due to the good quality of life and affordable real estate costs. They will be transferring a large team from California in addition to hiring additional sales and marketing staff. Currently they do not have office spaces in Avon Lake and are working with you as the designer and their real estate broker to purchase the former library building to be converted into their office spaces.
NIKE would like to be able to use their new offices as a space to promote their products via seminars.
Lunchroom/Reception Requirements:
The Lunchroom and the Reception area will be one of two showpieces of their new space. While the complete reflection of their brand throughout their new offices is important, these two zones are the primary client zones and are the first spaces that the client is exposed to. They must make a great visual impact.
They would like the Reception space and the Lunchroom to be physically and visually linked to each other. They would like these two spaces to work as one zone where they would hold the seminars and entertaining events in addition to providing a space for employees to eat their lunch.

NIKE Midwest’s Departments

Supply Services
Information Technology (IT)
The Executive Department should be located directly adjacent to the Finance Department.

Marketing and Sales should be located next to each other. Sales and Supply Services should be located next to each other. Information Technology should be directly adjacent to the server room and workbench.
Workstations and Private Offices
NIKE would prefer to keep the Open Office/Employee work areas visually separated from the key client zones.
As a culture, NIKE prefers to have Vice presidents and directors in private offices. The rest of the space will be open office as they do want to let in as much natural light as possible. There are two workstation types and two office types that need to be developed for NIKE Midwest’s departments:
