Meet the New United Natural Foods Corporate HQ in Providence
The new corporate headquarters for UNFI transforms an underutilized office space next to Providence’s central train station into a warm, flexible, and sustainable workplace. Strategically located near Amtrak and commuter rail lines, the site underscores the company’s commitment to accessibility and flexible design, with direct connections to Boston, New York, and the Providence airport.
The renovation creates executive offices, open and floating workspaces, numerous conference rooms, a boardroom, a video studio, and welcoming public areas. Designed for a post-pandemic workforce, the headquarters is scaled for evolving needs while supporting flexibility, collaboration, and executive functions. Perimeter offices and conference rooms maximize daylight, while core spaces accommodate storage and wellness rooms. Demountable parti-tions allow light to penetrate the building’s center, creating a bright, connected environment. Acoustic treatments balance openness and privacy, and natural wood finishes, greenery, and residential-style elements foster a calming atmosphere.
