Comcast Cable, one of the largest providers of video, high-speed internet, and phone services in the United States, piloted a new workplace strategy at its Bishops Gate Boulevard location in Mt. Laurel, NJ.
Challenge
The challenge was to reimagine an innovative workplace that would better support evolving workstyles, collaboration, and technology integration. The pilot needed to align flexibility and organizational goals while serving as a scalable model for implementation across Comcast’s real estate portfolio.
Solution
We collaborated with Comcast to design an adaptable workplace environment that redefines office planning. Open-plan workspaces and sit-to-stand desks replaced standard offices and traditional workstations. A range of alternative work settings—including collaboration areas, enclosed meeting rooms, and individual huddle spaces—support both individual and team-based work.
Outcome
This fully integrated design creates a work environment where teams are empowered with greater choice, mobility, and access to technology. Enhanced daylight, improved air quality, clear circulation, and amenity-rich spaces reinforce Comcast’s culture while creating a scalable model for future workplace transformation across its portfolio.
The workplace standards developed through the pilot now inform a broader initiative to rethink Comcast’s real estate portfolio across the US.
Following the success of the pilot, the workplace strategy was expanded through an additional 40,000 square feet of renovations at Bishops Gate Boulevard.

Comcast Cable, one of the largest video, high-speed internet and phone service providers, currently owns and operates over a million of square feet across the United States. Bishops Gate Blvd in Mt Laurel, NJ, has served as a pilot space to implement and test a new set of workplace standards. Through this pilot space NORR, together with Comcast, has innovatively looked at the way people work, how they collaborate and how they use technology to design a flexible workplace environment that meets the needs of today’s individual. The standards developed in this pilot shape are being used in a nationwide initiative to rethink how Comcast’s uses their real estate across the country.
The goal was to create an innovative and collaborative workplace with access to alternative work environments. Senior leadership transitioned from standard offices to an open plan workspace with access to adjacent private conference rooms. Sit-to-stand desks with lower panels and personal lockers replaced the traditional workstation. A multitude of alternative work settings were strategically placed throughout the space for individual and group work including open collaborative areas, closed meeting rooms and individual huddle rooms. This fully integrated design creates a new work environment where teams are empowered with the tools they need.
Following the success of the pilot space, NORR was engaged to renovate an additional 40,000 square feet at Bishops Gate. The new work environment maximizes employee access to daylight and views, enables temperature control and access to fresh air, expresses clear circulation patterns, integrates and maximizes technology to improve communication and celebrates amenity spaces, all of which reinforces Comcast’s culture and values.
