The organization needed a collaboration environment that would:
- Support a Microsoft Teams workflow
- Deliver consistent user experiences across multiple offices
- Be simple to manage and easy to use
- Integrate seamlessly into a modern, design-forward workspace
- Provide speech privacy and reduce distractions in open areas
What happens when AV strategy is part of the conversation from day one instead of being bolted on at the end?
By engaging ClarkPowell early, the organization was able to develop a technology roadmap in parallel with the architectural design, setting the foundation for stronger outcomes from the start. The project required close coordination across multiple trades, including the general contractor, architect, and a modular wall system manufacturer.
In the boardroom, maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic was just as important as performance, leading to a custom solution that mounted the display behind a glass wall while incorporating a magnetic access panel for serviceability. The result preserved a clean, uninterrupted design without sacrificing functionality. This level of coordination across multiple trades is where design-build truly delivers and where ClarkPowell thrives.
