Consequently, the new classroom would be located in the space previously occupied by the library.

Genesis Headquarters Office / COM
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of spaces where we reside has garnered significant attention. The demand for improvements in large office environments accommodating over 200 individuals is as high as the interest focused on personal spaces.

There is a growing trend towards transforming corporate workspaces into welfare-oriented spaces for everyone’s well-being, aiming to become part of the living radius of the organization’s members.
