We sat down with Collin K. Hirschfeld, KC, and asked him a few questions about the move of our Saskatoon office. We are excited to share a few more details about the move, what it means to us, and what it means for our clients.
Why are we relocating the Saskatoon office?
McKercher has a long history in downtown Saskatoon, with roots nearly a century old so it is important for us to provide services from Saskatoon's business core.
- The current building has been in use for over 40 years, but the firm has outgrown the space.
- The need for improved technological efficiency and productivity is also driving the move.
- The new space is specifically designed to meet the firm's evolving needs.
- The River Landing project offers an exciting opportunity to be part of downtown renewal.
What value does this new space bring to the firm?
- Floor numbers: Occupying the 4th and 5th floors of the Nutrien Tower, with client access from the 5th floor.
- Square footage: Over 24,000 square feet, including 1,200 square feet of high-tech meeting space.
- Workspaces: Combination of open and closed offices, all with natural light and designed for efficiency.
- Accessibility: More secure and accessible, with multiple convenient pay parking options for clients.
What are the benefits to the McKercher LLP team in the new space?
- Enhanced amenities for efficiency and effectiveness, including additional meeting space and a dedicated smudging room.
- Building designed for well-being, featuring an employee lounge, rooftop winter garden, tech-free zone, reflection room, and fitness studio.
- Support and reassurance provided to the team during the transition.
How will this impact the service we provide to our clients?
- Improved team well being and workspace efficiency will enhance client service.
- New technologies will better serve a diverse range of clients, from local citizens to the global community.
- Optimized workspace planning will better meet client goals and objectives.
What is the timeline?
