Why design-build experts Clayco used Framery smart pods in their new St. Louis office

Read how Clayco used Framery smart pods to create a high-performance environment that balances architectural integrity with flexibility to adapt into the future.

A powerhouse in US design-build, Clayco is a full-service, turnkey real estate development, master planning, architecture, engineering, and construction firm that safely and sustainably delivers the highest quality solutions to clients across North America. 

When designing Clayco’s new office in St. Louis, LJC, a leading design and engineering company and subsidiary of Clayco, chose Framery smart pods as a modular solution to support their employees with private spaces for calls and meetings. During this strategic consolidation, Clayco successfully used Framery smart pods to create a high-performance environment that balances architectural integrity with flexibility to adapt into the future.

“Framery offered a strategic solution, allowing us to integrate private, soundproof spaces within our open office neighborhoods without compromising collaboration or overall design aesthetics.”

A strategic blueprint for the modern workplace

A leader in architecture and design, LJC recognizes that modern offices must be designed to support the evolving needs of a changing world of work. By choosing Framery smart pods, they integrated a solution engineered as multipurpose workstations designed for flexible work. 

From early planning stages to design and implementation, LJC and Clayco leveraged Framery smart pods to optimize their St. Louis workspace, cut construction costs, and drive long-term value.

Workplace privacy

Clayco added a fleet of Framery smart pods to their open-concept neighborhoods to support their multidisciplinary team of over 700 people with much-needed private spaces.

“Framery smart pods help our employees stay more productive and reduce stress by providing a private, distraction-free space when needed. They have enhanced both daily workflow and overall well-being in the workplace.”

Modular workspaces

The fleet of 25 Framery smart pods serve as phone booths, workstations, and meeting rooms throughout the office, and can be reconfigured to adjust to changing needs in the workplace.

“Framery smart pods have become an integral part of our workspace, supporting flexibility, focus, and privacy throughout the day.”

Strategic consolidation

In a move to consolidate their real estate portfolio, Clayco merged three separate offices into one unified hub, relying on Framery smart pods to provide necessary privacy and cut costs.

“Framery smart pods were a strategic way to significantly reduce the number of private offices as part of our workplace consolidation effort,” says Jen Nevil.

Building a foundation for focus

As a firm specializing in building for the future, Clayco understands that the modular design, reliable engineering, and quality craftsmanship of Framery smart pods make them an integral part of modern workplace design. By integrating these high-performance building solutions into their own office, Clayco ensures their environment reflects the same elite standards of design and engineering they deliver to clients from coast to coast.

With Framery smart pods, Clayco and LJC added sustainable privacy directly into their St. Louis workplace, prioritizing employee well-being and workplace functionality. This commitment to quality provides significant support for Clayco’s workforce and serves as a smart, sustainable investment in their own infrastructure.
