The way people work is changing, and their offices haven’t caught up. A lot of leaders are realizing their space was built for yesterday’s workflows, not tomorrow’s. More room to collaborate. Less need for a desk per person. Different demands depending on how a team actually works, day to day.

So, how do you know if your office is keeping up? Read the our latest blog to explore what today’s teams need from their workplace and where your space may be falling short in the LINK here: https://www.custerinc.com/news-updates/what-ai-can-show-you-about-your-office-and-what-it-cant

PROJECT Spotlight | Corporate Headquarters in Plymouth, Michigan

For a leading global manufacturing company, the first phase of its Plymouth, Michigan, workplace transformation was about more than modernizing an aging office. It was about creating a workplace designed to support stronger collaboration, greater flexibility, and a better employee experience.

To bring that vision to life, the organization partnered with Custer to explore a variety of workplace concepts and planning strategies. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all workstation solution, Custer developed multiple workspace configurations, helping the team evaluate different levels of privacy, visibility, and collaboration.

And… we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming! This week’s 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴 spotlight is Meg Piersma! ✨

Meg, a Design Team Lead and Custer “boomerang” who first joined the team in 2005 and returned in 2023! ✨ With years of experience, Meg helps guide projects from early planning and design through installation, building strong client relationships along the way. Her collaborative approach, leadership, and willingness to share her experience make her a valued resource for both her team and our clients. Get to know Meg, both in the showroom and beyond:

𝟭.) 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿?
I’m a boomerang employee! I started my first 8 years with Custer in 2005, left to move out west in 2013, and then came back in 2023. What can I say, I’m hooked!

𝟮.) 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲?
I’m part of the amazing Project Coordinators team which just means, we take a project from the beginning with space planning and design, all the way through to project management and coordinating the installation and any follow up needed. It gives me a lovely opportunity to make deep connections with our clients! I also am one of two Team Leads and have an amazing group of Designers and PCs reporting to me.

𝟯.) 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲 (𝗻𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀!)?
Wouldn’t a covered, outdoor patio with ample power options be the most amazing thing? I say covered because I’m as pale as they come and have to slather on the sunscreen any time I step outside.

𝟰.) 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿?
I enjoy being a part of a collaborative team, and Custer provides exactly that. Whenever I get stuck, I know I can turn to my coworkers for support, and I’m always met with helpful ideas, shared experiences, and fresh perspectives that help move things forward.

PROJECT Spotlight | Western Michigan University - Valley Oaks Residence Hall

When students move away from home for the first time, where they live shapes far more than where they sleep. Residence halls become places where friendships begin, study groups form, and a sense of belonging takes root. That’s exactly what Western Michigan University set out to create with Valley Oaks, a new residence hall designed to redefine the first-year student experience.

Custer was proud to partner with Hanbury Design and The Christman Company on this transformative project, helping furnish a space that reflects the evolving needs of today’s students while supporting Western’s vision for a more connected campus.
