Case Study: Comfortable & Productive

Acadia Group of Companies

Acadia Group of Companies (Acadia Group) began in 1976 and is a Saskatchewan owned and operated group of construction companies comprised of teams of skilled professionals experienced at all levels of project development and construction. The Acadia Group consists of: Acadia Construction Inc., Acadia Paving Ltd., Acadia Pumping & Dewatering Ltd., and Integrated Engineering Inc. and encompasses a highly diverse range of individuals with a vast amount of specialized knowledge and expertise that offers their clients end to end solutions for any large scale, complex projects.

With the objective of unifying all their disciplines under one roof, Acadia Group ventured into a new build that was completed in 2023 to house all their companies in one unified location. C3BI was one of the key partners in the project and closely collaborated with the architect, aodbt architecture + interior design and in particular, one of their key Interior Designers, McKenzie Cooper. Together, they combined their expertise and creative vision to develop a functional and visually appealing environment for the Acadia Group.

"C3BI was a key player in making our vision for a consolidated office a success. Our relationship with C3BI began through the award of an office desk tender for our new building project, however we also decided to award the balance of our furniture requirements to C3BI as well due to their large Saskatoon showroom showcasing a wide range of office solutions, their professional team and strong relationships with local designers, their proven dedication to our project and their attentive customer support. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. Their quality furniture and experienced team are second to none. We love all the products chosen for our new building as they not only meet all our functional requirements but provide the comfort and look that promotes our own brand of excellence. A sincere thank you to the entire team at C3BI for helping make our vision a reality. We love our new office!"

Acadia Group of Companies’ new building is a cutting-edge facility, built to house all of their companies under one roof. The furniture lines from Teknion, Gus Modern, Sit-on-It Seating, and Global Upholstery were carefully chosen to feature modern and innovative design with close attention to details.

In the offices, Teknion's Expansion desk and storage line, paired with Navigate height adjustable tables to promote employee movement, health, and productivity. Wall mount hutches and tackboards were added to increase functionality and sophistication. Sit-on-It Amplify ergonomic task seating was paired with Teknion's Amicus guest chairs, while high top tables were matched with Teknion's iconic Nami chairs for drop-down meetings in key offices. For casual discussions, Gus Modern's accent chairs, sofas, and casual tables were paired with Teknion's Routes sofas, accent chairs, height adjustable end tables, and Sit-on-It's iconic Gobi Lounge Chairs. An elegant solution was found for a last-minute change requiring clear division in one of the offices, with the addition of a Teknion TekVue glass wall featuring a sliding door.

The main boardroom has a stunning Teknion Expansion executive boardroom table, paired with Sit-on-It's Prava executive boardroom chairs, which balance modern design and comfort. The cafeteria has Teknion's Zones bench seating in a dual contrasting color palette, accompanied by their complementary Banqs tables in bright white tops and black bases. The cafeteria design blends into the adjoining training room, continuing the warm wood tones and black bases on the Teknion Expansion training tables paired with the light and modern design of Global Upholstery’s Sonic stacking chairs. The additional meeting rooms, like the training room, have a common warmth accomplished through the continued use of Teknion’s table line and similar color pallet for a uniform design. To infuse an added touch of company branding, a splash of the Acadia logo red was tastefully added to Teknion's Amicus and Just-us chairs in two of the meeting rooms, resulting in a visually stunning pop of color. C3BI's expertise in furniture selection, their understanding of the project and design goals, along with their creative solutions for layout and refinement has taken the new Acadia Project to the next level of sophistication. The furniture's quality, functionality, and design add to the building's overall appearance, creating a comfortable and productive work environment that reflects the company's brand and requirements. We thank Acadia Group of Companies for being a part of this project and extend our best wishes for their continued growth and success of their new home!
