The design brief for the Employee Hub at the Dollar General Distribution Center in Bessemer Alabama discussed extensively the need for employee safety, wellness and comfort. While its business was booming, the company was struggling with employee retention. With an employee roster of over 600 for each distribution center and the famously tight margins for businesses of this type, employee spaces were necessary components but not necessarily considered. The focus expanded to include architecture as a vital component of employee wellness in support of the client’s mission and bottom line.
