RBC – Temporary Learning Center
Temporary Learning Center Creation
In May, 2017 when a fire temporarily closed down an entire RBC tower, their learning department was faced with a problem – how to quickly re-locate over 150 scheduled training programs. They need a solution that would be close to downtown, affordable and that would contain all the equipment needed for training.
.
Scope
Our role was to find and built out an appropriate sized learning space within a couple of weeks. After researching local facilities and corresponding availability we proposed finding and opening a dedicated temporary facility to house all these programs.
Special Challenge - leasing and building out a temporary, short term space in a hot real estate market
Space in the downtown Toronto core was very limited with a lower than 4% vacancy. Office buildings in the downtown core do not like to write short duration leases. We needed a space that could be quickly renovated and opened.
Solution - Do The Impossible
We found a location that was being offered on a short term lease. We negotiated a lease with the landlord, designed and built out a facility with 4 classrooms, 12 breakout rooms, a reception, kitchen and dining area. We arranged furniture, audio visual, internet, computer equipment and opened for the first training session within 3 months of starting the project.
