GuilfordWorks Annual Report PY2020-21

C A R E E R C E N T E R R E D E S I G N

In June of 2020, GuilfordWorks contracted with Able & Company, a full-service design and branding firm, to redesign the NCWorks Career Centers in Greensboro and High Point. Limited access to the career center during operational hours and Covid-19 restrictions delayed construction until late in the calendar year. Phase I of the project encompassed the lower level of the Career Center in Greensboro. The redesign included a fresh coat of paint on most surfaces, vinyl graphics, and other substantial displays to tell an inspiring story and create surroundings to match the energy of the work being done. Phase II concentrated on the upper level of the existing West Meadowview building, including training classrooms and GuilfordWorks’ Board of Directors conference room. Phase III encompasses the revamping of the High Point offices, scheduled for a later date.

Although a majority of the redesign focused on the interior, some modifications were made to the exterior as well.

Once the Career Centers reopened to the public, safety measures, such as social-distancing markers, plexiglas shields and sanitation stations were employed.

The redesign is meant to not only freshen the center’s appearance but to create a productive and invigorating environment, with accommodations that inspire our customers to continually use the center. – Chris Rivera
