This interior architecture project focused on a tenant fit-out for Pittsburgh's downtown office of Janney Montgomery Scott, which included a move from the US Steel Tower to One PPG Place. A primary goal of the project was to increase communication, productivity and transparency between financial consultants and staff.

In 2005, Janney Montgomery Scott acquired this downtown Pittsburgh office as part of a merger with Parker/Hunter. Relocating to another corporate office building was a monumental decision for the financial services firm given that Parker/Hunter's headquarters had been located in the US Steel Tower for more than 40 years.

As a part of the move, Janney was able to transform their corporate image with a new standards rollout to branch offices, which included:

• An open reception area with access to a large conference room

• Branding opportunities

• New office and workstation standards

• Finish standards

• Greater visibility of employees, including glass wall offices, which emulate the façade of One PPG Place
