Frequently asked questions

  • What is the difference between a meeting and conference room?

    A conference room will typically include the technology needed for video calls and can be used to connect people outside of the immediate building for calls or training. A meeting room tends to be used more informally for brainstorming, private conversations or collaboration and contains smart, collaborative technology.

  • What technology should be included in my meeting space?

    Meeting room tech should support the task at hand so consider whether your team will use the space for brainstorming, collaboration, presenting or conference calls. Our tech experts and space strategists can help you identify the right solution.

  • What size meeting room do I need?

    If space permits, we recommend a mixture of smaller settings that cater for group of 2-4 people, as well as a large space that can accommodate larger teams of 6 or more people attendees. However, before making any recommendations on the size and type of meeting space needed, it’s important to understand how the space will be use so that the room can be utilise effectively.

  • How can a meeting space encourage collaboration?

    For everyone to collaborate effectively, firstly they must be highly engaged and able to contribute easily. Think about room layout – can everyone see the screens and easily connect their laptop, consider how ideas and notes can be shared and displayed.

  • We have a noise issue, can meeting and conference rooms help?

    Yes, meeting rooms can help with background office noise. By taking teams away from an open plan workplace to meet with colleagues, take video and Teams calls and collaborate, you can reduce notice and disruptions. We would also consider the right level of acoustic comfort for the space and recommend furniture and tools that will help.
