- Madison Metropolitan School District
With guidance from Henricksen's K-12 experts, Madison Metropolitan School District renovated its K-12 schools to enhance 21st-century learning environments while preserving historical features. Madison Metropolitan School District embarked on a multi-phased renovation project across all of their K-12 schools. The challenge was twofold: updating the spaces to create 21st century learning environments, while preserving the integrity and historical features of these existing school buildings. In addition to maintaining the historical character of the buildings, the district also wanted to create flexible, inclusive spaces that catered to different learning preferences and student needs. They focused on updating common areas such as cafeterias, libraries, and collaborative spaces to mimic a college campus environment, helping students transition more easily to higher education settings. “Our 9-12 educational furniture project spanned five sites and three years, said Alisa Brown, Architectural Assistant, Madison Metropolitan School District “The effort was deeply complex with multiple phases, multiple funding sources, and varied priorities for each site.” Henricksen was selected as the furniture provider for all of the high schools. They worked closely with the Madison Metropolitan School District to develop solutions that addressed the specific needs of each school, while maintaining consistency across the district. Each school had input into the design through community engagement sessions. Henricksen took these insights and provided a range of furniture options. They even set up a sample of classroom furnishings where both students and teachers tested various items before final selections were made. Based on the majority feedback, the Canto chair became a standard choice for classrooms. Flexibility was a core design principle for all the furniture. Classrooms, collaborative spaces, and common areas were fitted with furniture that could easily be moved and reconfigured to adapt to different teaching methods and student preferences. Henricksen sourced furniture from multiple vendors, ensuring a wide variety of seating and table options that could be interchanged between campuses as needed. The design process was iterative, with the user groups—teachers, students, designers, and administrators—participating in the selection of finishes and fabrics. In-person meetings allowed the group to interact with physical samples, helping refine choices. Adjustments were made along the way, especially to upholstery and other aesthetic details, to ensure the furniture reflected the school’s environment and the feedback from users. Recognizing the complexity of fully revamping every space at once, the project instead focused on areas undergoing the heaviest renovation first. “We had no illusion that we could replace every piece of furniture,” said Brown. “We targeted the areas that were getting the heaviest renovations.” Henricksen provided tailored solutions for different areas of the schools, including classrooms, administrative offices, media centers (Library Media Centers), cafeterias, music rooms, special education spaces, and physical education areas. Each classroom features tables with the same laminate, allowing pieces to be interchanged across campuses. While the focus was on modernizing the furniture, thoughtful reuse of certain pieces, such as art tables, was integrated to reduce waste and help stay within budget. “Henricksen walked us through every step along the way,” said Brown, “They delivered a solution that balanced standardization for these grade levels across our district while honoring the specific needs and desires of individual sites. We achieved a modern product mix that advanced our learning environments to fit current pedagogy, while remaining comfortable and relatable for teaching staff. The lookbooks for each school are the perfect guide map, as we move past larger renovations and furniture replacements into maintenance mode. I also really appreciated the involvement our Henricksen team members had directly with site-based staff, and the balance between getting their input and approval with our district-wide requirements and goals.” The installation process, though complex and phased across multiple schools, was a coordinated effort between Henricksen, the installation team, and school administrators. Regular communication ensured that punch list items were resolved promptly, and the entire process was less stressful than anticipated for the district. “Installation was very phased and complicated,” said Brown, “We appreciated Henricksen’s participation in that process.” Madison Metropolitan School District’s renovation resulted in spaces that blend historical integrity with modern functionality. Key spaces, including media centers, collaborative areas, and classrooms, now offer flexible environments that align with current pedagogy and prepare students for college. Students now have access to modern learning environments with flexible seating and tables that can adapt to their needs. The variety of furniture accommodates different learning styles, fostering collaboration and independent learning.

- University of Delaware
The University of Delaware's new executive office suite at Star Tower features high-quality Allsteel Aspect wall systems, workstations, and Gunlocke private offices. The University of Delaware's new executive office suite on the 9th floor of Star Tower was intended to serve as a hub for the leadership team and to impress potential donors, with an emphasis on a business-like ambiance. COFCO, A Henricksen Company (COFCO), collaborated with Delle Donne & Associates, Bernardon Architecture, Bancroft Construction, and the University of Delaware to design and install high-quality Allsteel Aspect wall systems, workstations, and Gunlocke private offices. There were several challenges that the COFCO team needed to overcome to ensure success of the project. Uniformity in wood finishes across different products was a significant challenge due to natural grain variations, necessitating close collaboration between design and manufacturing teams. Technology integration was also crucial, leading to modifications in furniture to accommodate technological needs. Ultimately, COFCO was able to help the University of Delaware create a cohesive space that supports the University's executive functions and fundraising efforts.

- Philipp Lithographing Co.
Henricksen helped Philipp Lithographing Co, a family-operated business based in Grafton, WI, achieve a modern, professional, employee-friendly office as they embarked on an exciting expansion journey. Philipp Lithographing Co. (Philipp Litho), a family-owned printing and packaging company located in Grafton, WI, was expanding. The expansion and renovation included a 26,000 square-foot warehouse addition, a 3,600 square-foot office addition, and a renovation of their existing 5,000 square-foot office space. The overarching goal was to create a more modern and professional, employee-friendly office while maintaining a family-run, traditional feel. Their existing office furniture was mostly heavy-duty golden oak pieces from the 1960s and 1970s that no longer suited their way of working. The location also lacked enough conference rooms and meeting spaces to support their growing team and client-facing needs. They did want to retain certain traditional design elements, such as the warm wood tones, but also needed the space to feel modern and efficient. Their new workstations required customized designs to accommodate many printed documents and packaging materials. Philipp Litho selected Design to Construct (D2C) to lead the architectural design and construction of the new spaces. As part of this process, D2C brought in Henricksen to help them create an all-encompassing furniture package for Philipp Litho and worked as a team to help bring Philipp Litho’s vision for the furniture to life. “Philipp Litho’s design vision went hand in hand with the overall style of the building,” said Alaina Bernarde, Interior Designer, D2C. ““We took the time to go through each space to make sure the pieces and furniture layout meet the needs and functions of the end users. We chose wood tones and fabrics for the furniture that coordinated with the new interior finish materials that were specified.” National Waveworks workstations were selected, balancing durability and design. Wood skins were used on the outside of the workstations to match the company’s traditional aesthetic and height-adjustable desks were specified to meet modern ergonomic needs. The private offices were outfitted with Gunlocke chairs and high-end traditional pieces to create a sophisticated yet functional environment. Where possible, Henricksen and D2C’s designers worked with Philipp Litho to reuse existing furniture, such as incorporating some existing seating and reusing the base of a conference table, adding a new top for a refreshed look. The project also included custom touches like a demountable wall system with magnetic panels. These walls encased the conference room, and the magnetic panels allowed the clients to hang up their lithographing plans for their meetings. There also are other architectural walls throughout the space, adding both functionality and a modern aesthetic. The collaboration between D2C, Henricksen, and the client was smooth, with constant communication and quick resolution of any punch list items. Henricksen’s documentation of furniture standards and finishes ensured the project deliverables were clear and helped keep the project on track. “Cammy keeps the client’s best interests at heart,” said Bernarde of Henricksen Account Manger Cammy Harvey. “She is the first person I communicate with on each furniture job. Her attendance at each meeting, whether onsite or at Henricksen, ensures we were making progress. She gets questions answered and searches for the right solution based on her past experiences.” The end result is a new space for Philipp Litho that is both visually appealing and highly functional for current and future employees.
