CULTIVATING THE TALENT OF TOMORROW

IGNITE BY ONDEMAND COMBINES PROFESSIONAL AMBIANCE AND VIBRANT PRODUCTIVITY, SERVING AS A DUAL-PURPOSE TRAINING AND CO-WORKING HUB, INSPIRING CREATIVITY AND GROWTH THROUGH FLEXIBLE, SOPHISTICATED DESIGN AND SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES.

Ignite by OnDemand aspires to cultivate an innovative working and learning environment that seamlessly merges professional ambiance with the dynamic productivity of an educational institution. This space serves a dual purpose, functioning as a training centre for high school students and a co-working hub for Ignite and Learn Corporation, Ignite’s parent company.

Balancing vibrancy with professionalism in a working and learning environment, Ignite draws inspiration from the emotions and knowledge derived from playing board games. Beyond their entertaining and educational aspects, board games often provide a way to unwind and relax, stimulating endorphins. Similarly, Ignite is envisioned as a space where both students and employees can learn, find inspiration, be productive, and relax when needed.

Ignite’s design features a fusion of office space and training rooms. The reception area doubles as a waiting zone for students, while the versatile co-working space boasts multi-functional capabilities. Dedicated training rooms, breakout areas, one-on-one consultation rooms, and even bunk beds cater to diverse working and learning styles, creating a comprehensive environment for both productivity and education.

Upon entering Ignite, visitors are greeted by a striking logo on a backdrop inspired by the Chinese board game Go. The pristine white background enhances the gold elements of the signage, making them stand out prominently. Inside the lobby, natural light permeates the space, illuminating the CNC metal backdrop. This backdrop introduces an intriguing illusion, remaining hidden from view when seen from an angle but revealing its unique pattern when viewed straight on.

The reception area also features a Hall of Fame showcasing alumni achievements, including acceptances into prestigious universities. This display serves to inspire current students with tangible examples of success.

The town hall is a versatile area featuring an interactive wall inspired by the Scrabble board game, allowing users to engage playfully. Visitors can create welcome messages or uplifting notes, enhancing the space’s dynamic and collaborative spirit. This adaptable area caters to individual work, small or large-scale collaborations, and events.

THE NAP AREA DOUBLES AS A FOCUS LEARNING SPACE WITH EARTHY TONES AND COLOURFUL ACCENTS, PROVIDING A HOME-LIKE SETTING CONDUCIVE TO BOTH RELAXATION AND PRODUCTIVITY. IN THE BRAINSTORMING AREA, A STRATEGICALLY PLACED WHITEBOARD ALLOWS FOR JOTTING DOWN IDEAS AND FOSTERING CREATIVITY.

The nap area doubles as a focus learning space with earthy tones and colourful accents, providing a home-like setting conducive to both relaxation and productivity. In the brainstorming area, a strategically placed whiteboard allows for jotting down ideas and fostering creativity. Ignite’s office is designed with flexible learning spaces, featuring operable walls to accommodate both small and large events or meetings. Training rooms are equipped with acoustic panels, whiteboards, and LED TVs, enhancing their educational functionality. Consultation rooms offer private spaces for one-on-one student meetings or can serve as additional meeting rooms. Focus booths are designed for individual work, featuring vibrant colours to energise the space.

The emphasis on flexibility and multipurpose functionality allows Ignite to accommodate a diverse range of events and activities. Whether it’s hosting talks, workshops, knowledge-sharing sessions, or networking nights, the space is designed to inspire the next generation of leaders while maintaining a professional and sophisticated atmosphere.

Incorporating sustainable practices, Ignite’s design repurposes existing structures and utilises cradle-tocradle materials, minimising waste and environmental impact. The entrance, marked by minimalist stone cladding and programmable lighting, can be customised for different colours, setting the tone for a refined experience. Beyond being a conventional educational space, Ignite stands as a transformative learning hub that is fun, exciting, and unique. It is tailored to meet today’s needs and anticipate the challenges of tomorrow.

BALANCING VIBRANCY WITH PROFESSIONALISM IN A WORKING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, IGNITE DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THE EMOTIONS AND KNOWLEDGE DERIVED FROM PLAYING BOARD GAMES. BEYOND THEIR ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS, BOARD GAMES OFTEN PROVIDE A WAY TO UNWIND AND RELAX, STIMULATING ENDORPHINS. SIMILARLY, IGNITE IS ENVISIONED AS A SPACE WHERE BOTH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES CAN LEARN, FIND INSPIRATION, BE PRODUCTIVE, AND RELAX WHEN NEEDED.
