Top Central Indiana workspaces honored in annual Spaces competition

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 2, 2019 – The innovative workspace showcase, Spaces, presented awards to four companies last night. Their annual event celebrates companies for their vision and execution of workspace design that is unique, innovative, reflects the company’s brand and engages employees. Three categories were awarded along with a People’s Choice Award selected by an online vote open to the public prior to the event.

“This year’s winners highlight the impact of workspace design on an organization. Each captures the perfect blend of unique concept, employee-focused amenities and brand-infused design,” said Spaces founder, Matt Waggoner, Managing Director, Tenant Representation at JLL. “We are thrilled to see a community of now nearly 200 companies throughout the state that value their employees evidenced through their workspace.”

Companies were awarded in the following categories:

• Large organizations (100+ employees): Lessonly  
• Medium organizations (26 – 100 employees): Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana
• Small organizations (1 – 25 employees): Upper Hand
• People’s Choice Award: Spot

The submissions for this year’s showcase were accepted over the summer and judged by a panel of local business influencers. Along with pictures of the spaces, submissions were judged equally on their responses to the following criteria: space functionality, design uniqueness, branding and culture/employee engagement.

The judges for the 2019 showcase were:

• Jackie Morales – Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer, Morales Group
• Natalie Litera – Chief Operating Officer, KSM Consulting
• Patty Turner – Director of Facilities, Internal Events and Community Relations, NextGear Capital
• Tristan Glover – Senior Vice President, Zeller Realty Group
