INTRODUCTIONUnder a compressed schedule and a finite budget, LS3P was selected to program, plan,
design and deliver a global headquarters reflecting a ‘clean’ approach to the workplace
with design emphasis on future flexibility. Chiquita Brands International occupies Floors
10 through 16 of first generation space in the NASCAR® Plaza Tower. Corporate branding
standards were studied from the beginning to reinforce and incorporate elements into the
final design. The architectural program consolidates business units from multiple cities
and standardizes Chiquita’s workstation sizes.
The first four floors of the space are open office environments. Adjacent to the building
core are cork flooring and metal ceiling panels that demarcate major circulation paths
to dedicated copy and mail areas, collaborative ‘huddle rooms’ and an employee
breakroom. Outside of the core are unobstructed views and daylight. Chiquita primary
colors (blue and yellow) accent walls, floors and graphics. Secondary brand colors dot
the carpet among the workstations. The top floors are dedicated to the Main Reception,
Conference Center, Boardroom and Management Commi�ee. Monumental stairs with
translucent blue treads connect the top floors. Within these reception spaces are digital
exhibits and historical artifacts that showcase Chiquita’s history. Along with this
historical display, ‘Chiquita Banana’ lyrics are showcased on the connecting stair.

ENGAGEOur journey began with a visit to Chiquita’s existing
corporate headquarters in Cincinnati, OH and the explo-
ration of existing conditions and opportunities. This pro-
cess allowed for critical observation, allowing insight
into the strategies Chiquita had been employing in their
space. Alongside our observation were conversations
with employees and the Management Commi�ee. With
these dialogues we were able to explore challenges and
illustrate possibilities. This interaction allowed us to
quickly establish a rapport and trust with the team; this
lead to open communication ensuring any and all issues
could be freely discussed. It also allowed a prioritized
vision for the work to be developed incorporating not
only ‘needs’, but also ‘wants’.
The consensus among employees and stakeholders was
for a be�er, more modern work environment. The envi-
sioned interior design and architecture needed to exhibit
a functional style and branding strategy which were
neglected previously.

ESTABLISH GOALSClient Directives
At the project onset
guiding tenets were
established to safeguard
the process and keep
all parties aligned
and in balance; these
principles became our
strategic vision. With
the tight schedule it was
important to keep our
goals simple, standardized
and sustainable so that
in the end the ‘senses’
were heightened but not
overwhelmed. These
tenents guided each
meeting and provided
continuity for the whole
project process.

GATHER DATAInvestigate Existing
The first step was to
gather data through tours
and interviews at the
existing Cincinnati, OH
headquarters. This trip
allowed us to perform
analyses and generate
an initial program and
stacking diagrams as
well as get a sense of the
existing employee culture.
We explored cultural /
company artifacts and
thoughts / solutions
regarding materials and
colors previously used.
We also investigated
Chiquita’s history and
community involvement.

Existing Space Analysis
PROGRAMMINGDocumentation
Programming began
with analyses of existing
spaces and types. It was
determined that adopting
simplified standards would
respect the project goals
and develop an ideology
toward the new workplace
environment. Standard
sizes and limited options
of workstations and office
sizes provided a module
that made for simplified
future flexibility.

SPACE PLANNINGTest Programming
The space plan takes
advantage of the long
narrow floorplate with
open offices along the
expanses of exterior
glazing. Offices and
meeting spaces are
typically placed at the
ends of the floors with
common areas placed
within the core. Common
spaces include storage,
copy/print areas,
breakrooms and smaller
meeting rooms dubbed
‘huddle rooms’.

SELECT CONTRACTORThe Last Component
Due to schedule
constraints, Integrated
Project Delivery was
deemed a key option to
meet both the schedule
and provide accurate cost
estimate. A select list
of general contractors
was invited to provide
qualifications. From the
qualified list of seven,
three were selected for
interview with the contract
awarded to Rodgers
Builders. The selection
was based on experience,
fee and personnel. The
integration also allowed
for early budget and
constructability review.

CHARRETTESchematic Design
At the culmination of
the programming, space
planning and general
contractor selection, a
formal charre�e and
presentation of the work
allowed for the sharing
of a large quantity of
information both quickly
and simply. Decision-
makers received the same
information in the same
format at the same time
with comments actively
engaging the design team
providing for real-time
action.

DESIGNThrough our engagment and foundation of Project
Principles, it was clear that Chiquita was seeking a
21st century workplace providing for greater flexibil-
ity and productivity. Their goal was to preserve and
instill the brand of Chiquita within the workplace and,
subsequently, the workforce. The workplace strategy
responds to the hinderences of their previous space and
addresses the needs of employee satisfaction. Open,
collaborative environments are washed in natural light
and punctuated by bright brand colors. Engagement
and activity are encouraged among the space’s inhabit-
ants, and illustrations of the company’s social outreach
and the message of healthy living enliven the core of
each floor.
The colorful and welcoming lobby of this global head-
quarters is respectful to employees, visitors and stake-
holders alike. ‘Miss Chiquita’, debossed in an area of the
front desk, gleefully welcomes everyone. Expansive
floor-to-ceiling glass provides the backdrop of a lush,
natural vista. Brand values are subtlely expressed: Pure,
Clean, Simple.

BRANDINGResources
With one of the most
recognizable brands and
historically significant
icons, ‘Miss Chiquita,’ the
wealth of raw data in
the form of images, ads,
video, etc. was almost
overwhelming. The
dissemination of these
resources led to the essence
of the brand, the story to
be told within the space.
With its nod to activity,
community and history,
the embodiment of the
success of Chiquita is
established and shapes the
decisions made within the
space by the employees.

BRANDINGHistory and Stickers
The montage to the left
speaks of the vast history
of shipping in Chiquita’s
past. Although they no
longer ship their product
on their own vessels, they
pay great homage to the
fleet.
One of the most simple,
yet most fun, historical
branding elements is
the Chiquita sticker. The
stickers are a source
of brand identity and
outreach for the company
(through design contests,
movie premieres, etc.).

BRANDINGSocial Responsibility
‘Go. Be. Love.’ Chiquita’s
internal mantra relates
to the core aspects of
their corporate culture.
Through workshops and
conversations, LS3P
worked closely with the
CEO, Human Resources
Director and Marketing
teams in order to showcase
Chiquita’s iconic branding
elements within the
space. These working
sessions allowed for
greater understanding of
the flexiblity of the brand
guidelines in order to
offer the most compelling
visualization within the
workplace.

WORKPLACEDesign Standards
The workplace design
standards were simplified
early in the process and
generically specified for
bidding purposes. As
part of this procurement
process, four major
furniture manufacturers
were selected to provide
presentations, mockups
and budgets of the
systems designed for the
workplace. Simplified
parts inventories and
accessories were an
integral feature of the
design of the standard
systems. Manufacturers
were asked to present
“added value” as part of
their response to the Basis
of Design. Systems Furniture Standards

With the systems furniture
manufacturer determined
(Steelcase), finish
standards were selected
and applied to the systems.
From that beginning,
freestanding furnishings
were identified and
the finishes, although
standardized, were
selected to enhance the
branding concepts by

personality and fun within
the work environment
were also key elements
in the furniture finishes

Each floor was assigned
a color that relates to
the Chiquita brand, with
Chiquita Blue being a
common accent color on
all floors.
The accent colors greet
you in each elevator lobby
and are then applied to
standard materials on each
floor. This method allows
for stability and equality
of finishes while enhancing
personality. Carpet tiles
interspersed with the
Chiquita Blue and other
accent floor color make up
the typical floor finish; cork
floors encircle and identify
the core circulation path.

TRANSFORMThe creation of a space from an empty core/shell is
similar to starting an essay with a blank piece of paper.
Careful consideration of design elements, branding,
furniture selection, etc. was complete, but the physi-
cal manifestation and inhabitation of the space was
just beginning. Our tight schedule had compressed our
ability for further exploration, but a new energy and
excitement took over as the transformation of the space
moved along with progress measured daily.
In fact, this ‘speed to market’ enabled validation of our
client’s belief in us and the new design. At each mile-
stone excitement increased, progress was shared and
more employees decided to make the move to the new
headquarters than had been expected. In place, recog-
nition of the freshly illustrated ‘Go. Be. Love. Chiquita’
offered a welcome energy to the personnel. This encour-
agment of purpose not only grounds the employees of
Chiquita, it propels them into action with purpose.

Chiquita was adamant
that their brand become
an integral part of their
new community. For this
effort, it was decided that
a physical embodiment of
the brand was required.
The skyline of the City
of Charlo�e offered an
enticing opportunity.
Not populated by
many corporate icons,
Chiquita made the bold
decision to illustrate
their commitment to the
community by adding their
core ‘sticker’ to their new
home. The two Chiquita
signs are the largest of
their kind in the world.

Similar to Collaborative
Spaces, Social Spaces are
placed throughout the
work environment. These
spaces serve not only as
prefunction areas, but
also as less purposeful
gathering areas. The
spaces are less formal and
structured to encourage
simple interaction which
is a key component of
employee health and well-
being. These social spaces
ease barriers between
people and allow for
natural team building.

SUSTAINABILITYLEED Gold
Sustainability is a
global goal of Chiquita,
both social and
environmental. For
their new headquarters,
the requirement to be
sustainable in the interior
design and upfit was an
easy early decision. The
ultimate goal was to
obtain a Silver certification
in the LEED rating system
of the USGBC. As with
most projects seeking
certification, LS3P elects
to achieve more credits
than are required. These
additional points, along
with several key decisions
by Chiquita, lead to a
be�er than expected Gold
Certification.
LEED Checklist

INSIGHTCorporations are ever-evolving in their response to ever-changing consumer needs and
tastes. These evolutions require an organization to be agile in order to adapt and grow.
Chiquita is no different in this respect, but they were different in their desire for relocation
in order to spark an evolution of their corporate culture.
Many clients and their projects are defined by their processes, what they do or have
done. Chiquita required a revised process, one that moved them to decide faster and think
further. In this process the cultural rejuvenation created a new expression of the fresh
and active aspects at the core of their brand. The arrival of new space and standards
marks the commitment of Chiquita to respond to their multi-national and multi-
generational workforce.
Chiquita looked to LS3P for guidance and direction. We were able to establish trust early
through our experience and to provide open, honest and fun collaboration. This constant
communication afforded LS3P the opportunity to be immersed in the iconic brand and
delve into Chiquita’s needs. Our development of the Project Principles was a key outcome
of this entrenchment, and one that lead to ultimate decisions in order to maintain budget,
schedule and quality. These principles also allowed the entire team to be be�er stewards
of the brand. The final deliverable is an environment that fosters global understanding
and encourages local interaction for the future of the Chiquita Brand.
