Create an Effective Collaborative Space

Productive meetings require an appropriate space for holding them. Participants need to be comfortable and able to focus on the matters at hand. An unorganized and unpleasant conference room will result in unproductive meetings that annoy your team and take up time that could be used more effectively.

A collaborative conference room shouldn’t be the de facto storage space for the office. The conference room should have enough comfortable seating for meeting participants, suitable and functional storage units, tech features for virtual meetings, and other features used to promote the effectiveness of meetings.

The team at Ethosource can guide you through your planning process to ensure that your conference space provides an ideal conference environment.

Budget-Friendly Conference Room Design

Offices will differ in their design of the ideal conference room. The purpose, participants, and frequency of meetings should drive the budget and design of your meeting space. Base your designs upon the goals for your space, and prioritize spending where you’ll get the most return on your furniture investment.

Conference rooms that are used frequently need furniture pieces that will last. You want this space to have both visual appeal and functionality, resisting the worn appearance that can come with frequent use.

Another area to invest in this space is storage. A conference room needs to be organized, but it too often becomes the dumping ground for employees. Cabinetry and surface pieces with storage included are excellent investments for the conference room.

A coffee and snack area in the conference space is essential. This area needs to be easily cleaned and include storage space. 

When a conference room lacks the technology needed for presentations and virtual participation, the result is delay and frustration. Keep your conferences punctual and seamless with tech integration in the design of your conference room from the very beginning.

When choosing seating, tables, and accessories, you should consider saving money on conference furnishings. While necessary, meetings are generally short enough that ergonomic, adjustable seating isn’t required. Of course, if your office holds day-long training and other meetings, you may choose to invest in comfortable conference seating.

Conference Room Design Tips

• Avoid overcrowding.
• Table length suggests seating capacity. One chair fits per foot of length.
• Leave a 3-4’ easement between the conference table and the walls or other furnishings. The area where presentations will occur will need a minimum of 5’.
• Promote virtual participation by creating a half circle facing the camera and including monitor stands for screens.
