What HB Workplaces does

HB Workplaces, founded in 1980 and headquartered in Draper, Utah, is a regional MillerKnoll Certified Dealer and workplace solutions provider serving the Western United States through six offices (Salt Lake City, Draper, Boise, Las Vegas, Reno, St. George, and Seattle). The company sells and installs commercial office furniture from Herman Miller, Knoll, and 19 affiliated MillerKnoll brands (Geiger, HAY, Framery, NaughtOne, Design Within Reach), targeting five primary verticals: Business, Education, Healthcare, Government, and Hospitality. Project scale ranges from small offices to large installations such as the Las Vegas Raiders' 262,500 sq. ft. Allegiant Stadium project and Saint Alphonsus Nampa Hospital's 237,000 sq. ft. facility.

The company operates three service lines: (1) furniture specification, sales, and manufacturer-certified installation; (2) HB Build, a prefabricated interior construction division using DIRTT modular systems for demountable walls, glass fronts, healthcare headwalls, and acoustic treatments; and (3) workplace strategy and design consulting, project management, warehousing (125,000+ sq. ft. across all locations), and post-installation customer care. Technology stack is conventional — 3D modeling and materials library software for space planning and client visualization, with no proprietary AI/ML or software products.

HB Workplaces generates revenue primarily through one-time furniture sales tied to enterprise capex cycles, supplemented by professional services for design, project management, and interior construction, and by MillerKnoll Financial leasing and financing arrangements. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales through regional showrooms and consultative selling, with multi-year project pricing and pre-negotiated government state contracts (Utah MA3967, Nevada Herman Miller Contract 1931, Idaho). Following four M&A transactions between 2022 and 2025 (Sprague Solutions merger, MBI Business Designs and MBI Seattle acquisitions), HB Workplaces was acquired by Creative Office Resources (COR) effective January 14, 2026, and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary under COR, a MillerKnoll Certified Dealer and WBENC-Certified WBE based in New England.
