Viterra – the world leader in the cereal market – has opened its new offices in Olivia

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Viterra – the world leader in the cereal market –

has opened its new offices in Olivia Centre. Viterra is present in 35 countries and operates in the most important global markets. It has occupied a representative office on the top floor of Olivia’s newest building – Olivia Prime B.

 

– A new Resident is always a great joy, especially since Gdańsk has been a historical centre of grain trade for hundreds of years, and Viterra Polska is a leader in the sale of not only cereals, but also oilseeds, legumes, sugar, rice, cotton, vegetable oils and biodiesel – emphasizes Maciej Kotarski from Olivia Centre. – Viterra handles 1.5 million tons of goods annually in ports, exports 2 million tons by land, and has ten of its own storage locations in Poland, elevators that allow it to store 350,000 tons of goods in Poland. tons and its own production of vegetable oils.

 

The office on the 14th floor of Olivia Prime B provides stunning panoramic views of the Bay of Gdańsk, the Gdynia cliffs in Orłowo, the marina in Sopot and the green Tri-City Landscape Park surrounding Olivia. The premises cover an area of over 1400 m. Kw. and a private terrace, located above the office, on the 15th floor, where lounge furniture, deckchairs and greenery have been prepared.

 

Viterra, as a company from the plant trade industry, perfectly fits Olivia Prime, whose interiors have been designed by
the architectural studio Design Anatomy
 in the spirit of biophilic design, combined with the power art trend: Olivia Prime is a unique building in every respect – says Maciej Kotarski. – We place great emphasis on the contact of its users with nature and natural materials. Extensive terraces, filled with vegetation, frequently appearing wood, as well as greenery suspended from the ceilings make an amazing impression in an ultra-modern office building. Olivia Prime is also very surprising with the interiors of the elevators, which are lined with fragrant natural wood, which provides an unparalleled experience for all guests of the facility. At the same time, the building is saturated with art. Murals in all halls, walls designed like paintings, screens in the main hall – vertical structures moving in many planes. The combination of the biophilic trend and power art allows us to meet two needs. The first is the harmony of the spirit and the sense of contact with nature through soft furniture, plants and natural materials in the spirit of biophilic design. The second is the need for strength and energy, providing users with a place that fills them with good energy. Entering work is supposed to make us smile, energize, make us feel a surge of power and want to act.

 

Olivia Prime is one of only 4 buildings in Poland with an all-glass triple-glazed façade, which provides the best possible lighting in autumn and winter. This helps to ensure better well-being of employees. In spring and summer, the triple-glazed façade prevents overheating and provides thermal comfort even on very sunny days, and in the winter and autumn months it allows much greater access to daylight, which is so important for humans.

 

Viterra is not the first company from the food industry to open its offices in Olivia Centre. Earlier, Paula Fish, which employs over 800 people, found its place in the largest Polish business center. It is not only one of the European leaders in the fish processing market, but also a pioneer in ecology and sustainable development. The main goal of the company’s development in the coming months is related to achieving climate neutrality, the use of environmentally sustainable fishing methods, as well as the most environmentally friendly fleet of vehicles used to transport their products.

 

Polish Agro is also one of the companies that cannot often be associated with modern business centers. The main profile of its activity focuses on the trade of fertilizers, plant protection products, as well as seeds and agricultural products. The company is part of the DAVA Agravis International A/S group. Its companies are among the leaders of the agricultural market in their countries and operate mainly in the Baltic Sea region.

 

 

 

 

A flower has bloomed in Olivia Garden, the appearance of which in natural conditions in Poland is considered impossible!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Our year-round garden, Olivia Garden, delights and surprises. This time, it was possible to breed a flowering cycad (Cycas circinalis of the species Macrozamia mooroi). It naturally occurred in this latitude 60 million years ago. Today, its bloom in natural conditions is considered impossible.

 

The cycad is one of the oldest living plant species on Earth – says Tomasz Zabłocki, an expert from Platan, a gardener, and an inspector of tropical plant supervision. Its fossils date back more than 200 million years. It is often called a “living fossil” because of its long evolutionary history. The last flower that bloomed in Poland 10 years ago took 150 years. Their long-term growth makes cycads a symbol of longevity, endurance and strength in many cultures around the world, which is why they are often planted near temples and houses as an amulet bringing good luck to the place.

 

It is a great joy for us and a proof that we have managed to create a real, living botanical garden, where plants from 5 continents thrive – says Bogusław Wieczorek, Plenipotentiary of the Management Board of Olivia Centre. Two years of the garden’s existence might not seem like a long time, but the growth of the plants is already impressive. We are most pleased that the plants have perfectly acclimatized, coexist and grow wonderfully, which evokes a number of positive emotions and makes the greatest impression on our guests, especially during the winter and autumn months.

 

Cycads are plants that dominated the Mesozoic period, i.e. at a time when dinosaurs lived on Earth. Cycads are known for their slow growth rate and longevity. The world’s oldest known specimen of cicada, dating back to 6,000 years, belongs to the species encephalartos woodii and grows in the botanical garden in Pretoria, South Africa. Their height usually reaches up to 2.5 meters. The trunk of the Oliwa specimen has already grown to nearly two meters, but its leaves already reach nearly 4 meters, which confirms that it has been possible to create really optimal conditions for the development of plants.

 

 

An interesting fact may also be that cycads are dioecious plants, so they have separate male and female plants. Males produce conical structures called struules, and female plants produce seed cones. Insects are necessary for their reproduction, without which this process cannot take place in natural conditions.

 

These plants hide many secrets: they are said to belong to poisonous species, since chemicals such as toxic cardenol glycosides are found in different parts of the cycad, however, these compounds are used in traditional medicine as effective laxatives, antibacterial and antivirals. What’s more, these plants have developed their own protective mechanisms against insects and other pests. Their leaves contain azadirachtin, which has an insect repellent effect.

 

Their seeds belong to the group of extremely hardy ones. It has been proven that they can survive fires, extreme temperatures, long periods of drought or prolonged immersion in water. Thanks to this, they can also travel long distances and develop in new areas.

 

The species of Cycasa that bloomed in Olivia Garden is Macrozamia mooroi and is endemic to Australia, originally growing in a limited area of northern Queensland. Its trunk can reach a height of up to 2 meters, although it is usually much lower. It is typically found in forests and wooded areas with well-drained soils. It plays an important ecological role as a food source and habitat for a variety of animals, including insects and birds. The bright red seeds produced by this cicada are often eaten and spread by the local fauna.

 

5. Conservation status: Macrozamia mooroi is listed as an endangered species in its natural habitat. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve this species, including conservation programs, habitat restoration, and educational campaigns.

 

Olivia Garden is an exotic garden opened in 2021 that is located in the heart of Olivia Centre in Gdańsk, the largest business center in Poland. The space of 7500 m3 is filled with nearly 4 thousand sqm. plants from 5 continents, and the height of the tallest of them reaches up to 11 meters. It is the largest exotic garden in Northern Poland, where, in addition to vegetation, there is an amphitheatre, dishes from all over the world are available, as well as workplaces in the spirit of deep work, as well as places for meetings and integration. It is a fully professionally prepared space, which is filled with adaptive lighting, allowing plants to develop even in the absence of access to daylight, a professional irrigation system and sprinklers. During the day, the humidity in the garden provides a comfortable living environment, but at night this space turns into a real exotic jungle, where humidity and temperatures are close to those in the equatorial zone.

 

Welcome to Olivia Garden!

 

Remember that if you are an Olivia Resident and have the My Olivia app, you have a free ticket to the garden.
You can visit it whenever you want!

 

Did you know that… March 14th is the day of the unusual number Pi?

Posted on by obc_adm

Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14 due to the similarity of the decimal extension of the number to the date “March 14”, which is written in the US in the format 3.14. The first time Pi was celebrated was in 1988 at the initiative of Larry Shaw at the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco.

 

What do you possibly not know about Pi?

Pi(π) is the ratio of the circumference length of a circle to the length of its diameter. This number is fascinating, m.in. Because for many years it was very difficult to calculate. The first to do so, with an accuracy of two decimal places, was probably Archimedes in the third century. BC. The Greek mathematician is believed to have been the first to analyze the properties of π in depth. He used geometry in his work.

 

Many authors of historical studies in the field of mathematics emphasize that π was generally treated by the ancients in a practical way. The Babylonians were content with 3,125 and the Egyptians with 3,143. Interestingly, many Egyptian structures contain an approximate value of Pi in the various relationships between the dimensions of the objects. An interesting fact is that one of the wonders of the world, which is the pyramid of Cheops, contains in its dimensions the number π with an accuracy of four decimal places. When the researchers calculated the ratio of the sum of the two sides of the base of the building to its height, it turned out to be 3.1416! To this day, there are debates as to whether this was a coincidence or whether one of the builders was an unknown genius. Information about π is even found in the Holy Scriptures. From 1 Kings 7:23 it can be inferred that Pi is equal to 3.

 

In 1596, the mathematician Ludolf van Ceulen calculated the value of Pi with an “astronomical” accuracy of 20 decimal places, and before his death he managed to improve the result to 35. The number Pi was engraved on his tombstone, so it is thanks to Ludolf van Ceulen that Pi is sometimes called “Ludolfina”.

 

The first modern formula to calculate Pi is John Wallis’s infinite product of 1655. The same one who introduced the mathematical designation of infinity that we use today.

 

At the end of the 19th century, the British amateur mathematician William Shanks calculated the value of Pi to 707 decimal places. Since he did the calculations by hand, it took him 15 years!

 

Nowadays, the latest technology and complex computer algorithms are used to precisely determine the value of Pi. In 2019 Emma Haruka from Google Japan decided to show the world her new achievement. She calculated π with an accuracy of about 31 trillion decimal places. In doing so, it broke Peter Trueb’s record set in November 2016, which achieved an accuracy of about 22.5 trillion decimal places. However, the last word has not yet been said.

 

Yes! Some people think that the Greek letter π refers to the name of Pythagoras. This is a mistake. It really comes from the Greek word “perimetron” or “periphery” (circumference, periphery).

 

40 decimal places and the world goes round

The symbol π was introduced by the Welsh mathematician William Jones in his monograph “Synopsis palmariorum mathesos” in 1706. No one can remember its exact value. However, if you want to be sure that none of the calculations you make will cause a disaster, all you have to do is encode about 40 decimal digits in your head (cliché, right?). NASA only needs a dozen or so digits of Pi expansion not to spoil the International Space Station.

 

In 2005, a Japanese man recited 83,431 digits of π correctly, which was checked and confirmed, and his result was included in the Guinness World Records. (We think we are going to add order to some important discussion if we mention even in passing that there is a 1 digit inthe 100,000th decimal place in Pi and that there is no sequence 123456 in the first million digits.)

 

Pi has long been an inspiration for parascientists and artists. Ba! π even appeared in the name of the Raspberry Pi platform (the device consists of a single printed circuit board and was invented to support the learning of the basics of computer science). Supporters of metaphysics will probably be pleased to know that among the first 100 million digits of the expansion of Pi they will find every five-digit number, and with a probability of almost 2/3 their date of birth in the DDMMYYYY format.

 

And one more thing about the magic of Pi

π is the basis of many formulas and problems – in geometry, mathematical analysis, number theory. In the world of physics, it can be found, for example, in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and in the equations of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. The number of π can also be found in other scientific disciplines, such as computer science, architecture or construction.

  • The magnetic permeability of vacuum is 4 π*10-7.
  • Pi appears in formulas for radius of atom, electron size
  • is a factor in the cosmological constant
  • It is inextricably linked to the trigonometric calculus, which in turn is used in electronics, wave physics, medicine and astronomy

Excellent Olivia Star!

Posted on by obc_adm

Olivia Centre wins more laurels. 2021 was marked by awards related to safety, well-being of residents, tourist offer and design, and at the beginning of 2022 the project received further awards.

Olivia Star’s rating at the Excellent level has been awarded to the greatest extent for Energy-efficient solutions available in the building (lighting zoning, use of LED lighting), availability of alternative forms of transport (parking spaces for bicycles and scooters with charging stations, availability of public transport – Fast Urban Railway, Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway, tram and bus network) and highly efficient technologies for the management of water resources. As-built certification means that all initial assumptions specified in the project are met.

When analysing the building, the assessors took into account the fact that Olivia Star is one of the most modern high-rise buildings in Poland with an all-glass triple-glazed façade. The use of a triple-glazing unit and good insulation of the profiles allowed to achieve very high thermal insulation parameters. The building is also equipped with tilting elements of the façade, which create a natural ventilation system serving all office spaces with fresh air. The above factors contribute to the high energy efficiency of the building. At the same time, it is the first high-rise building in Poland with a natural ventilation system.

The heating system with a heat pump installed in the building, using geothermal sources from as much as 95 meters below the lowest floor of the building, was also highly rated. In this way, Olivia Star draws heat from the aquifer in the Paleogene sediments (Oligocene Tertiary). Importantly, this system does not produce harmful gases and is one of the most environmentally friendly installations.

High efficiency, low operating costs, long service life, environmental protection through the use of renewable (alternative) heat sources are the most important conclusions from Olivia Star’s assessment.

The BREEAM as-built certificate at the Excellent level is yet another distinction that has been awarded to Olivia Centre in recent months. The most important of these was the Well Health Safety Rating certification , carried out by 600 scientists from all over the world, cooperating with the International Well Building Institute in New York. 9 months ago, the institute gave Olivia the maximum score of 25 points out of a possible 25, in 22 basic and 3 additional categories related to innovations in the field of employee safety and well-being. No other facility in the world has received such high marks so far, which has allowed Olivia to be called the safest business center in the world. Such a result was only possible thanks to the commitment to the implementation of state-of-the-art safety solutions: the air handling units were equipped with air ionizers that continuously purify the air in the buildings from fungi, viruses and allergens. Active titanium coatings have been used in the common areas, creating surfaces free of pathogenic microorganisms, and in addition, the level of air filtration has been raised to the highest available level (from G4 to F7 class). More…

This summer, during the jubilee 20. In the edition of CIJ Awards Poland , the jury consisting of experts in the field of ecology, commercial real estate, design and property management awarded the new project in Olivia Centre – Olivia Garden, the award in the Best Interior/Exterior Design category. Olivia Garden is an exotic garden, covering 8720 m³ of green space, filled with 3000 plants. Plants up to 11 meters tall represent as many as 150 species and come from 4 continents. Importantly, Olivia Garden is a place that was inspired by the Residents. In 2018, during a workshop, employees of companies from Olivia indicated that it is such a natural, green oasis that they need to be able to fully regenerate their strength, regain energy and stimulate creativity during breaks at work. 2021 was the date of finalization of these plans and in May this year the first guests arrived at this unique space.

Olivia Garden is located in Olivia Star, which on its top floors also offers other public attractions contributing to the recognition of not only the environment related to commercial real estate. In the autumn of 2021, Olivia Star’s managers received the award of the Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship for the prepared tourist offer, which shows how multidimensional this project is and how modern thinking about office projects it implements.

We are aware of how many potential tenants of space in Olivia take into account the urban, multidimensional character of our centre, which offers their employees much more than just a space to work – says Konrad Danecki from Olivia Centre. Nowadays, practically everyone verifies environmental responsibility, ecology, wellbeing and additional services that await them in their new workplace. Well Health Safety Rating, BREEAM certification and other awards allow us to objectify and confirm to our business partners the level of our commitment to providing them with the highest level of service in the world. Such high marks are also a great satisfaction for us, confirming that what we do on a daily basis is recognized by independent experts with extensive knowledge and an appropriate perspective on an international scale.

Olivia with a maximum WELL score for an encore!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Olivia Centre has maintained the world’s first maximum score in the international WELL certification. For the second time, it has been recognized as a completely safe, friendly and responsible place to work, receiving confirmation from the International Well Building Institute (IWBI) in New York. A year after the first certification, it maintained a maximum score of 25 points out of a possible 25 in all categories analyzed. The safety of building users was checked, as well as solutions improving the quality of life in the business centre. It received this rating in 22 basic categories and in 3 additional categories related to the innovations implemented in its area.

 

A year ago, Olivia achieved such a high result as the first business centre in the world, which confirms that Gdańsk’s buildings are among the world’s top business leaders. Olivia has confirmed its class for the second time – says Marcin Gawroński , Director of the Green Building Department at SWECO, the company responsible for carrying out the recertification in Olivia. – Safety, employee well-being, and high indoor water and air quality are the hallmarks of WELL Health-Safety Rating facilities. Last year, Olivia Centre achieved the maximum score in all analysed categories and this year it repeated this achievement. This is a huge success and a confirmation of the safety conditions and responsible approach to the management of the Olivia building complex – adds Marcin Gawroński.

 

The WELL Health-Safety Rating is a data-driven, third-party verified assessment for buildings, focusing on the analysis of operating policies, use and maintenance standards, stakeholder engagement and contingency plans to ensure maximum safety and comfort for their occupants. The certification is based on insights from nearly 600 government officials, scientists, business leaders, virologists, architects, designers, construction scientists, and real estate professionals, as well as the WELL building standard – the world’s leading platform for the development of healthy buildings and spaces. Many famous people from around the world have been involved in the extensive campaign for safety certification and restoring trust in public spaces, including Jennifer Lopez, Lady GaGa, Venus Williams, Robert DeNiro, Michael Jordan and many more.

 

You can view a campaign video on this page.

 

Proving actions through external validation confirms the commitment and concern for people’s well-being in every aspect. The assessment shows that Olivia Centre prioritises health and wellbeing, instilling confidence in frequent visitors and the wider community around it – wrote in a congratulatory letter Rachel Gordon, CEO of the International Well Building Institute in New York.

 

In addition to the well-being of building occupants, WELL certification includes a precise assessment of extensive infrastructure that improves safety and quality of life and work. A number of solutions have been noticed in Olivia Centre, which position it as a leader in the implementation of technologies that protect the health and life of employees in an imperceptible way. Olivia was one of the first office centers in the world to implement ion air purification technology in its buildings, previously used in the world’s most prestigious facilities, including the White House, the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi, as well as in Gulfstream’s private jets. The installed devices saturate all rental areas with ions that have the ability to destroy viruses, bacteria and other pathogens in the ventilated air. The air purification process takes place continuously while people are in the room, so the fight against the pathogen begins from the moment it appears in the room.

 

In addition, the air filtration level has been increased from G4 to F7 in air handling units, which is one of the highest filtration levels currently available. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM) sensors were installed. Thanks to this, it is possible to monitor air purity and, as a result, eliminate harmful compounds from the fresh air drawn in from the outside and forced inside the buildings. Systems for controlling the intensity of air exchange based on the knowledge of current CO2 measurement results have also been installed, which contributes to a significant increase in the comfort of staying in the workplace.

 

The certification also includes initiatives implemented in the field of employee well-being. Projects organized on Olivia’s patio, sports sections, exhibitions of paintings, photographs and sculptures, as well as a publicly accessible, year-round exotic garden, in which there are nearly 4 thousand plants reaching up to 11 meters in height, were noticed. All these events and amenities can be used by Olivia’s residents and guests in a safe way, thanks to the solutions used. The sum of the solutions adopted resulted in such a high rating of the IWBI.

 

7 years of O4 Coworking… in numbers!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Our O4 Coworking is celebrating its 7th anniversary! So let’s give the floor to the representatives of O4, who decided to tell us about themselves… Numbers. And there’s a lot to be proud of!

 

THEREFORE… O4 COWORKING ABOUT ITSELF!

 

There are currently 167 of us, even though we are 1 coworking space and we are only 7 years old! How is that possible? The answer can be found in the O4ian satisfaction surveys, which we have been systematically conducting for years, and this is confirmed by the fact that although the pandemic caused a temporary regression in office leasing, in subsequent quarters of 2020 we observed a systematic rebound. On the occasion of the 7. On the occasion of the birthday of O4 Coworking, we had to sum up. Since the end of winter this year, we have been able to celebrate everyday life together at work again, and in July we rented the last, 65th year. office. Take a look at what we got out of these numbers.

 

We’re still growing

During the first half of 2022, 37 companies joined O4 and thus we are approaching a situation in which the O4 Coworking team will be left without an office. However, this is good news for us, the companies that are with us are gradually growing and it also happens that they migrate between spaces – from smaller to larger ones. Since February 2015, almost 500 companies of all sizes have passed through our coworking space. Currently, the O4ian community consists of about 1400 people who meet in an area of about 4000 m2. In the second quarter of 2022, we broke our sales record.

 

 

 

We like to learn

Those who are with us know that O4 Coworking is not only about offices and desks, but also about shared time, integration, networking and workshops – that is Warsztatownia.

 

Since 2018, two years before the creation of O4 Flow – a coworking space for women, 79 per cent of women have been working in the EU. The participants of our workshops were women. Among the most popular topics, chosen by about two-thirds of people, were: project management, personal branding, self-presentation and negotiations. Others willingly participated in trainings in the areas of creativity, communication and e-commerce.

 

The temporary switch to webinars during the pandemic increased the reach of the Workshop. 2020 was a record-breaking year in terms of the number of participants. We still prefer to learn in autumn. Our research shows that it is at this time of the year that the Workshop is most popular.

 

In general, live workshops win over online ones. They are chosen by 59 per cent. Participants. With the passing of the pandemic, there is also less and less interest in webinars – from a few hundred people to 20 during a webinar.

 

We are stationary and … Virtually

It’s been two years since we launched our virtual office service. This year, since August, we have expanded its scope and customers have more options, such as flexible access to desks, conference rooms on preferential terms, as well as the attractions of Olivia Centre – Olivia Garden or the observation deck.

 

After the change of packages, about 70 per cent. of customers have opted for the GOLD option, which, in addition to the registered address and correspondence handling, also provides access to the space and access to the attractions of Olivia Centre.

 

Dynamic changes and crises cause various bumps, but so far the upcoming recession has turned out to be the time of the greatest growth for us.

 

 

 

 

What will the 8th year bring for O4 Coworking? We look at it with great curiosity and we are ready for the next challenges.
