Proven Success with Workplace on Demand

Metro Offices recently won a government contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs to build office centers to their specifications all around the country. Essentially, we use our expertise and infrastructure to design fully-operational office center facilities for the Federal government and then manage it for them in a turn/key hoteling arrangement.

The first location we provided to them was for 102 people, approximately 25,000 SF in a class "A" building in downtown DC. The space required a specific amount of private offices, cubicles, secure LAN rooms, meeting rooms, kitchen/cafe's, bandwidth requirements, staff support requirements, mailrooms, storage rooms etc. Metro Offices delivered the space to them furnished and wired and met all of the specifications mentioned above.

The second location is located in Frederick, Maryland, and will accommodate 182 users on three floors in a brand new class "A" building. This facility will have 15 meeting rooms, equipped state-of-the-art audio visual equipment, training rooms, secure file spaces, secure access to space, a front desk team provided by us, multiple offices of specific sizes, multiple cubes, beautiful furniture and new design throughout provided by Metro Offices.
