IBM's Sterling Forest staff has returned to their newly transformed Corporate Dining Room after a two-phase construction project. What began as a fire protection upgrade became an opportunity to give the facility a contemporary new look. This was accomplished with vaulted ceilings in the Food Servery and custom designed dome light fixtures, suspending in ceiling coffers, throughout the 450-seat Dining Room. NR/A integrated these features into an overall interior design scheme solving existing functional problems and providing a new flooring and protective wall finishes throughout.
