United States Department of Justice, Antitrust Division (DOJ ATR)

Comprehensive workplace strategy made a 30 percent footprint reduction possible without compromising the division's essential functions. Unassigned universal offices replace a fixed model, allowing space to serve changing teams and schedules with greater efficiency. Office floors are organized into neighborhoods, creating recognizable communities within the headquarters and bringing collaboration settings close to daily work. A balanced range of support spaces gives employees options beyond the individual office, helping the hybrid environment respond to focus, meetings, and shared problem-solving. The planning turns consolidation into an opportunity to clarify how space is used, supporting a more adaptable workplace without losing operational rigor.

The workplace pairs flexibility with specialized settings central to the Antitrust Division's mission. A conference center supports meetings and gatherings, while a moot courtroom provides a dedicated environment for legal preparation and practice. These spaces remain integrated with the neighborhood-based workplace, keeping critical functions accessible without allowing them to dictate the entire plan. A change-management process engaged employees throughout the transition, helping people understand how to use unassigned offices and support settings with confidence. By aligning planning, specialized program needs, and employee readiness, the relocation creates a practical framework for hybrid work that can continue adapting as the division evolves.
