In this In Case You Missed It episode of the I Hear Design podcast, we revisit an article from interiors+sources that explores how Hendrick designed Synovus Place, a 122,000-square-foot downtown Columbus, Georgia, headquarters, around community, change, and employee experience. The project brought several locations together under one roof while using workplace strategy, change management, interior design, and environmental graphic design to help employees navigate the transition. The design centers community as both a spatial and cultural framework, with flexible work settings, transparent connections, quiet areas, social spaces, biophilic elements, and amenities that support comfort and choice. Brand storytelling, color, materials, and graphics further connect Synovus’ culture and local roots to the workplace experience.

Listen in for a closer look at how Hendrick approached workplace transition, community, flexibility, employee well-being, and brand storytelling to shape the Synovus Place headquarters—and how those strategies come together to create a more connected workplace experience.
