Sustainable by Design: How Modular Interiors Are Changing the Game with Russell Cook

What if the office you design today could easily adapt to tomorrow’s needs—without major renovations, downtime, or waste? In this episode of the True North Success Podcast, Gary Mah and Amy Kim sit down with Russell Cook, Owner and President of Modular Interiors by Cooks, to explore how modular construction and raised access flooring are transforming commercial spaces across Canada and beyond. With more than 20 years of experience in raised access flooring and underfloor air distribution, Russell shares how his company helps businesses create flexible, future-ready environments. Instead of traditional construction methods that lock power, data, and infrastructure into walls and ceilings, Russell explains how modular systems allow everything to be accessed beneath the floor—making it easy to reconfigure layouts as companies grow. He uses the example of casinos—where layouts frequently change without visible wiring—to illustrate how raised access flooring supports seamless adaptation. This same concept can help offices evolve from 50 employees to 70 without expensive renovations.   --------------------------------------- Be a Guest Are you a successful business owner, entrepreneur, or professional with insights to share?
