Jabil

Jabil, one of the largest companies in the Tampa Bay area, moved into its global headquarters located in the New Roosevelt building in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Designed by Gensler and furnished by Empire, this campus contains resources to support the 260,000 Jabil employees worldwide providing electronic manufacturing services and solutions. State-of-the-art amenities include a conference center, café, 6 pantry areas, a board room, an executive collaboration/dining area, various phone rooms, collaboration rooms, mother’s rooms, lockers, library areas, lobby furniture, and outdoor furniture.

Empire delivered and installed over 700 Steelcase height-adjustable workstations and 60 Steelcase height-adjustable offices, which are now part of their Corporate Standards, developed by Empire, for office typicals at Jabil locations nationwide. This project took place over the course of the Covid-19 Pandemic, so the number of employees coming into the office drastically decreased. Empire worked with the client to alter the floorplan to reduce the number of assigned workstations to hoteling areas, a common trend occurring in today’s workplace.
Through value engineering and reducing the kit of parts, Empire was able to save the client over $1M in the overall project cost.
