When AllShifts decided to expand its US headquarters amid the COVID-19 crisis, the nation’s leading nurse staffing agency looked no further than its home city of Newark, known for access to mass transit, major highways, a recently remodeled international airport, and highly skilled workforce. In fact, AllShifts stayed in the same building – 494 Broad Street – growing from 3,000 to 17,000 square feet as it took over an entire floor to accommodate the agency’s rapid growth.
New Jersey-based architectural firm the Kimmerle Group created a relaxed, open-concept floor plan with bench workstations, glass-front offices, a theatre room with stadium seating, and game room with TVs, lounges, and a cozy café. Custom reclaimed wood tables add character to the space, and exposed red brick walls found during construction give it a raw, industrial feel.
The $1.2 million project, which involved 150 construction workers and was completed in January of 2022, also celebrates AllShifts’ national reach, with each space named after a US city/region. These include the “Bronx” huddle room done in darker colors with metal trim, “Hollywood Room” with three glass walls, and “Central Park Lounge” with NYC skyline views.
Launched in 2003 as All American Healthcare, AllShifts specializes in on-demand CAN, LPN and RN staffing to provide coverage for every shift, including nights, weekends and holidays. Its 110 employees work with a pool of about three million nurses nationwide, and the agency’s gravitation toward personal care has led to successful health outcomes for many seniors and at-risk populations.
