Carlsbad Corporate Office Furniture Relocation

Our client, a leading sports and entertainment collectibles company, was relocating its Carlsbad headquarters. The move was a chance to build a workspace that matched where the company was headed, not just where it had been.

Leadership didn’t want typical square cubicles. The company built its reputation on products people collect and care about, and they wanted a workstation system with that same character in the daily work environment. The building itself came with real constraints too. It was a renovated structure with structural poles in inconvenient spots, and 85 private offices that all varied in size and shape.

Starting with an empty warehouse

The building was a restored warehouse: high ceilings, open steel trusses, polished concrete floors, and an industrial character that our client’s leadership embraced as the identity of the new space. The challenge was filling it in a way that honored that aesthetic while creating a productive, comfortable, genuinely exciting workplace for 600 people.

Pacific Ergonomics designed around many poles that were scattered across the renovated office.

Pacific Ergonomics worked alongside Advent Designs and White Construction from early in the planning process. Weekly project management meetings kept all parties aligned. Every decision, from workstation configuration to delivery sequencing, was made collaboratively with the client’s priorities front and center.

Specifying the Contemporary Curvilinear Workstation Program

Our client chose contemporary curvilinear modern office cubicles because curved, rounded panels do something conventional square workstations cannot: they create a softer, more open visual flow that complements the industrial character of the building. The curved forms break up the visual weight of 500 workstations across an open floor and give each employee a generous wraparound desk surface with room for multiple monitors, documents, and tools.

These are modern office cubicles that don’t feel like cubicles. Employees get defined personal space and acoustic separation without the closed-in feeling of traditional systems. The contemporary design sends a clear message that the company invested in its people.

Multiple Colors by Department AND ACOUSTIC VALUE

The acoustic panels do more than look great. The zigzag arrangement of the curved workstations across the floor naturally improves sound management. Rather than allowing noise to travel in straight, uninterrupted lines across an open plan, the staggered curved runs break up and redirect sound waves before they can build into distracting ambient noise. The geometry of the workstation layout itself does the acoustic work, giving employees a quieter, more focused environment without any additional acoustic treatment required.

Different departments received different acoustic panel colors, creating visual zones across the open floor without hard walls or barriers. The color coding gave each team its own identity and made the environment intuitive to navigate from day one.

Designing Around Structural Constraints

The warehouse floor presented obstacles that a standard grid layout could not accommodate. Structural support poles were fixed in place and could not be moved. Floor cores for power and data had limited flexibility in their locations. Rather than compromising the workstation program to work around these constraints, Pacific Ergonomics designed layouts that incorporated them intentionally, with curved runs that flowed naturally around every pole and configurations that positioned floor cores exactly where they were needed.

Contemporary curvilinear workstations designed around fixed structural poles: curved runs flow naturally around each column, turning a constraint into a design feature.

Private office furniture carefully wrapped and protected from dust and construction activity during the phased installation: every piece preserved in perfect condition until the zone was cleared.

Showroom Mockup and Testing

Before a single piece was procured, Pacific Ergonomics built a full working mockup at the Escondido showroom. the client’s project team came in to test cable routing strategies, confirm sit-stand surface mounting heights, and walk through the complete installation sequence. Every question that might have surfaced on installation day was answered weeks in advance.

Seamless Wire Management at Every Station

Clean cable management was a requirement, not an afterthought. Every contemporary curvilinear workstation was specified with integrated under-desk cable channels, power modules, and data ports built directly into the curved panel system. The result is a floor where 500 modern office cubicles show zero visible cable clutter, keeping the contemporary aesthetic intact and the workspace fully functional.
