Straus Newspapers, located in south central NY State owns and
publishes a group of nine weekly community newspapers. All production
and distribution is outsourced to a nearby commercial printer. This
outsourcing allows Straus Newspapers to concentrate on growing their
business and improving front end operations.

Straus Newspapers is utilizing ArcWest Architects experience in the
design and planning of front end newspaper office environments. Open
interdepartmental communication was a key project goal which resulted
in the design of low partition height work stations, open offices and a
central pagination hub. This central circular hub became the focus of
the design with custom cabinets, shared pagination tables and varied
ceiling heights.

Interior design detailing and finishes selection set this project apart from
a typical office environment. ArcWest Architects consistently applies
new contemporary design techniques with proven industry specific work
flow requirements to provide each client with an exciting and unique
solution.
