Landlords Are Turning Offices Into Art Galleries To Win Tenants
A study of 2,000 office workers found that employees are 17% more productive in enriched environments, which include plants and imagery, than those in minimalist spaces, according to a 2024 report by Corgan—Hugo. Researchers have also found that artwork can lower blood pressure and heart rate, with increased benefits when there is greater immersion, such as when visuals are paired with music.
At the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America's headquarters in Frisco, Texas, Seay’s firm worked with Corgan to bring more than 170 new pieces of art to the 15-story building. The project prioritized sustainability and community.
“I think about just how much more visible our workspaces are now through social media, how that influences what we expect of those spaces,” said Aralyn Griesbach, Corgan’s in-house art coordinator.
