The Humane Society of the United States enlisted the help of MOI to give their outdated furniture a refresh. As part of the project, The Humane Society desired the ability for staff to bring their pets to the office. This initiative required careful planning and most importantly, a space that could visually and functionally accommodate numerous animals being in the office throughout the workday.

The design solution included a sliding privacy door on the workstation that could keep the pets secured within the area, as well as a nook for the pets to rest while their owners worked. Within the open office area, Xsite panels combined with Xsede work surfaces provided the aesthetic they were seeking, in addition to the functionality they required.
