“We need drama and theater.” That was the direction I was given back in January as we discussed the basic design intent for our new Ogilvy Building. When the designers from Gensler showed me preliminary sketches for our new café in April the word “drama” was realized in 3D. As you can see from the sketch below, our new café will have a large center section that is basically a raised platform. This will give us a great vantage point to see out the huge windows in our new café as well as a place to see each other.
We want our new café to be a destination place. A place to which we’ll all look forward to going. A place where we’ll love to be. We hope it will evolve into a kind of town square, a place where you’ll enjoy running into people you haven’t seen in a while, and maybe even have an occasional business meeting.
In addition to the more typical servery area- we’ll have a terrific pizza oven, sandwiches made to order, a salad bar and entrees - we’re introducing a coffee bar/grab and go that opens out to the café. It will be open early in the mornings for coffee, cappuccino and a quick bagel or muffin, during lunch for a pre-made sandwich or salad if you’re in a hurry and in the evenings we’ll serve beer and wine at the bar. So get excited, because it’s all happening in less than a year!
