When McKesson Corp, the health care company with a 175 year history in distribution and technology needs, renovated its corporate headquarters in San Francisco, the Company leveraged its long-standing relationship with Knoll to create a space that would support collaboration and mentorship among its growing workforce, starting with its Business Technology Solutions business unit.

McKesson Real Estate team worked with Knoll Workplace Research to drive solutions for the Company's changing workplace strategies. Antenna® Workspaces maximizes flexibility, offering a range of planning solutions as McKesson's needs evolve, striking a balance between individual and group activities. McKesson also selected Generation by Knoll® work chairs, which are designed to facilitate innovation in the workplace, a result of collaborative interaction that occurs spontaneously throughout the day. Generation offers a new standard of comfort and unrestrained movement while supporting the range of postures in today's workplace.

The Company also chose Dividends Horizon® workstations (right), customized by lowering the panels and adding frameless glass to further promote open communication while providing access to natural light for all their employees. Calibre lateral files are included throughout the office and Series 2 mobile pedestals delineate space and provide additional storage.
