CASE STUDY
Flywheel, Winston Salem, North Carolina
Founded in 2014, Flywheel was the first coworking enterprise in Winston-Salem offering open spaces, reserved coworking desks, enclosed private offices, meeting rooms, conference rooms and business networking events for start-up companies.
When Flywheel moved from the Center for Design and Innovation into the 18,035-square-foot space at 500 West 5th Street, they more than doubled the space available for their entrepreneurship center and growing coworking member community.

“Well done ClarkPowell, we are very satisfied with the professionalism and quality of installation”. Peter Marsh

ClarkPowell was hired to design and install the new audio-visual system of the entire eighth floor in the downtown Winston-Salem tower. These new innovation spaces included several conference and meeting rooms, enclosed offices as well as open coworking desks and a common seating and bar area.
ClarkPowell had simplicity in mind when designing the spaces, as rather than catering for a traditional long-term workforce, we needed the systems to be intuitive to use by companies that may only be in residence for several months. We installed two 60” flat panel displays in the common area. Each of these displays has a rear-mounted mini PC with wireless keyboard and mouse allowing full internet access.
The PCs are on the local area network which also allows synchronous and asynchronous signage rotations. We also supplied Extron Sharelink devices in the space to allow for full wireless collaboration and presentation.

CASE STUDY
90-foot-wide Video Wall, United States
This worldwide financial services client required centralized command centers to allow their internal IT teams to monitor their internal network operations 24/7. ClarkPowell designed and built identical command centers on the east and west coast of the United States that can house over 100 network analysts and collaborate remotely.
Each video wall is 8 ft. 9 in. tall by 90 ft. wide to allow viewing of multiple web-based dashboards in the expansive space. Multiple teams can view and manage network events across the organization, while management teams confer with each other in the center’s many conference rooms. These centers can also share window views with the organization’s cyber security command rooms and executive leadership to provide the highest level of security for their customers.
Major system components for each include:
Planar direct view LED video wall
Planar touch screens
T1V interactive collaboration tools
Extron Quantum video wall processing engine
Crestron Digital Media routing and signal processing
Crestron touch screen control
Cisco video teleconferencing

500 W 5th Street, Winston Salem, North Carolina

ClarkPowell has a long term relationship with Flow Companies and provided a design-build concept for Flow’s administration spaces at 500 W 5th Street, an 18 floor skyscraper center in downtown Winston Salem, NC.
The Flow project included a variety of corporate conference rooms, training rooms and huddle spaces for the five Flow floors of the building. Flow has over 40 dealerships in more than 30 locations and therefore requires easy communication via a unified video conferencing system with the other locations scattered throughout three states. ClarkPowell was able to fully understand and meet the client’s needs in a full design-build capacity like this project. It offered the client more flexibility and ClarkPowell was able to provide a very tailored and functional solution. In addition to traditional presentation capabilities, all the conference rooms have cameras and microphones for unified communication and the controls are standardized so all rooms function in the same way. The Flow project has led to other organizations in the building contracting ClarkPowell to create integrated pro av systems for them including Winston Starts, Flywheel, WFU Center for Private Business and Grubb Properties. |
Most recently ClarkPowell installed the digital signage for the building including an interactive Wayfinding in the lobby where a visitor can punch in where they would like to go. ClarkPowell enjoys an excellent collaborative relationship with the building management company Grubb Properties and is in the planning stages of projects with other entities on the remaining floors of the building.
