TORONTO — Tim Hortons has moved its head office to downtown Toronto’s historic Exchange Tower.
Located at 130 King St. W., the 65,000 square foot modern space was designed to celebrate the company’s Canadian roots.
Designed by Gensler and located on the old TSX trading floor, the two-level open concept office features collaborative meeting spaces, over 20 coffee and tea brewing stations, a test kitchen, a large staff cafe and an outdoor terrace with Muskoka chairs.
The office also features Canadian Maple panelling and lots of natural light.
It’s decorated with imagery of original Tim Hortons coffee shops and of Tim Horton himself, a nod to the brand’s origins.
The space also includes:
the “ultimate Canadian kitchen,” which mirrors a restaurant design, and is a communal space where employees can share ideas over breakfast, lunch or coffee;
public work zones to encourage a collaborative approach through restaurant seating, tables, booths and magnetic whiteboard walls throughout the office; and
town hall and training space that can accommodate hundreds at a time for internal events and conferences.
“We wanted our new head office design to be a celebration of the brand and coffee culture and a welcoming place that brings people together,” said Alex Macedo, president of Tim Hortons, in a statement.
“The notion of community is evident through spaces such as the generously sized, welcoming reception area, which feels more like a living room than corporate office. It is just one of a number of features that makes this space not only feel uniquely Canadian, but uniquely Tims.”
