Client Case Study - Hatch

Project: Roller Shade Replacement : Window Treatment Upgrade
Location: Mississauga, Ontario

Executive Summary: Orella Group executed an extensive window treatment modernization for Hatch’s three-story global headquarters, involving the decommissioning and replacement of 347 roller shades spanning 1,497 linear feet. Beyond simple installation, this project required the systematic disassembly and reinstatement of smart workstations along the building’s perimeter. By managing a multi-trade schedule and coordinating directly with Hatch’s internal communications team, we completed the full scope during off-hours, ensuring the facility remained 100% operational for staff each morning.

Seamless Facility Decommissioning

Modernizing an
Occupied Workplace

Hatch required the replacement of 347 roller shades throughout its three-story global headquarters as part of a broader workplace modernization initiative. While the scope centered around window treatments, the project also required careful planning around occupied work areas, active employees, and complex workstation configurations throughout the facility.

Seamless Facility Decommissioning

Coordinating Across Multiple Trades

Successful delivery required the integration of multiple specialized trades, including electricians, furniture technicians, painters, and window treatment installers. Orella developed a coordinated execution strategy that allowed workstations containing live power and data connections to be temporarily decommissioned and fully reinstated without affecting employee productivity.

Logistical Stakeholder Management

Managing Change Without Disruption

Working closely with Hatch’s internal facilities and communications teams, Orella implemented a rolling installation schedule that ensured employees remained informed and operational throughout the project. Careful logistics planning protected workplace assets while maintaining safe and efficient access to active workspaces across all three floors.

Off-Hours Execution & at Scale

Delivering at Scale

All work was completed during evenings and weekends, allowing the facility to remain fully operational throughout construction. The project included the replacement of 347 roller shades spanning 1,497 linear feet, with every workstation restored and ready for use at the start of each business day. The result was a seamless workplace upgrade completed with zero disruption to daily operations
