When we think about the evolution of office spaces, our minds often go to recent innovations: shared workspaces, open floor plans and increased worker mobility.
But meeting rooms, too, have kept up with the pace of change. More than just a space that offers the obligatory long table, today’s conference room boasts video conferencing tools, well-designed furniture and interactive whiteboards. These conference rooms can be key locations where employees can innovate, collaborate and inspire.
In a business environment where space is at a premium, every room has to be thoughtfully designed. Oftentimes, this means creating more small meeting rooms as opposed to investing in large boardrooms. After all, 59 percent of meetings involve only two to three people. In other workspaces, it may mean creating flexible, multipurpose areas that can be sectioned with moveable walls.
