OfficeWorks 40th Anniversary
This year, OfficeWorks proudly celebrated 40 years in business. It was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on our journey, recognize the dedication of our team, and appreciate the strong partnerships that have shaped our success over the past four decades.
Commitment to Our Community
SMPS Softball Tournament
OfficeWorks participated in the SMPS Indiana Softball Tournament, supporting the ACE Mentor Program’s mission to inspire future industry leaders. We were thrilled to secure the runner-up spot and enjoyed connecting with peers while contributing to such an impactful cause.
IIDA Fashion Show
OfficeWorks partnered with MillerKnoll to support the IIDA Indiana Chapter Fashion Show, celebrating creativity and design. Collaborating with designers from Lancer Architects and Studio Axis, we helped craft an elegant bodice that embodied the natural harmony theme.
IIDA BOLD Event
OfficeWorks was honored to sponsor the IIDA Indiana Chapter's Building Our Leaders in Design (BOLD) program, hosted at our showroom. This initiative equips emerging designers with essential skills to thrive in their careers. Participants gained insights from industry leaders on topics such as crafting proposals, managing contracts, effective time management, design strategy, and problem-solving.
Next Great Architects Career Exploration Charrette
In partnership with Sanctuary Indy, we hosted a STEM camp for K-12 students, where they designed tiny homes for unhoused veterans. The camp taught young architects how design can address real-world issues. Proceeds from registration fees supported Sanctuary Indy’s mission to build a veterans' micro-community.
TeenWorks
OfficeWorks partnered with TeenWorks for their 6-week summer program, helping teens prepare for the workforce through job applications, interviews, and resume building. We also hosted a mock interview day, providing industry insights and guidance on the education needed for success.
ACE Mentor Program
Students from the ACE Mentor Program joined us for a field day, where they participated in a design charrette at the OfficeWorks showroom. They explored purposeful design, toured our space, and created their own models. It was inspiring to see their creativity and passion for design come to life.
Chili Cook-Off & Costume Contest
OfficeWorks hosted our annual Chili Cook-Off and Costume Party, where the team showcased their best chili recipes and 80s-themed costumes. Ashley Johnson took home the prize for the tastiest chili, while Megan Hale won for the most iconic 80s costume.
Olympics Day
The OfficeWorks team embraced their competitive spirit during a fun-filled day of challenges, including Just Dance, horse racing, and sharpshooting. The friendly competition and team camaraderie made it a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Better World Committee
In 2024, OfficeWorks took major steps toward sustainability with the creation of our Better World Committee. On Earth Day, our team participated in a building clean-up and set up a new compost bin. Later in the year, we also revamped our coffee and tea counter with clear signage to make composting easier, reinforcing our commitment to a greener, more sustainable workplace.
