Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) - Tempe

An inclusive branded environment that creates a home for employees.

MSC was expanding its presence with a new office in Tempe, AZ. After completing their award-winning New York office, they knew they wanted a partner they could trust, with a single point of contact, cost certainty, and a focus. 

For our second collaboration, Unispace and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) set out to create an inclusive, flexible workspace that meets the needs of its people and enhances productivity and collaboration.

At a glance

  • Talent attraction: Create a space appealing to top local talent
  • Inclusivity: Design adaptable spaces for a diverse workforce
  • Collaboration and productivity: Create an environment where employees thrive

Strategy-led design meets workplace innovation

Unispace's workplace design and build methodology brought MSC’s vision to life through several innovative strategies. The space was outfitted with future-proof facilities, including multi-use breakout zones, focus rooms, and collaboration hubs, each with advanced office technology to support productivity and connectivity. The design embraced flexible workspaces, offering a variety of space types such as high-top meeting tables, café-style environments, and adaptable neighborhoods to support dynamic working styles. Drawing on Arizona’s unique character, branded acoustic clouds and faux MSC shipping containers integrated seamlessly with the design aesthetic, creating a cultural connection that embodied the workspace of the future. Additionally, inclusivity was prioritized through interior office fit-outs, such as all-gender restrooms, a vibrant game room, and versatile training rooms that doubled as community engagement spaces.

A transformation that inspires brilliance 

The result is a transformed office structure that balances collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity. MSC’s Tempe space sets a benchmark for enterprise transformation office environments within the community.

  • Future of workspace: Employees now enjoy a vibrant, flexible space designed for productivity and collaboration, aligning with MSC’s goals. 
  • Standards: The innovative design is the template for MSC’s North American offices, positioning the Tempe location as a strategic transformation office structure for the brand. 
  • Community integration: The training room and enhanced café spaces reflect MSC’s commitment to embedding itself within Arizona’s local business landscape. 

The space demonstrates how innovative design-build can drive both employee satisfaction and operational efficiency. As MSC continues to expand, the Tempe office will serve as a template for future projects, solidifying its role as a business transformation office that aligns with both local and global goals.
