Boardrooms and meeting rooms.

By Glenside in Reading for clients across the UK.

Boardrooms of the future.

Office boardrooms and meetings rooms are places for creativity to flow and collaboration to bloom. Unlike boardrooms of the past, which were often formal settings exclusively for senior staff members, boardrooms are now often a space where different levels of staff can communicate. This has led to different design requirements, including the need for more comfortable, stylised furniture and advanced technology solutions. 


We work with our clients to understand their requirements and ways of working. We can create formal meeting rooms that reflect the long-established history of a company, or are in keeping with the character of the premises while making spaces modern and stylish - reflecting your company's innovative values.

Working to purpose.

Concepts for a modern boardroom design are likely to vary from small conference room ideas. The process of design to fit-out will vary for different projects, depending on:


  • The purposes that the specific meeting space may be used for.
  • The assets and limitations of the given area.
  • The style objectives of the individual client’s business, in terms of both enhancing the work environment and creating positive visitor impressions.
  • The character of the premises in which the facility is located (contemporary or period, special features etc.) and how this can be used to our advantage.

Working to purpose.

For instance, concepts for a modern boardroom design might need to vary from small conference room ideas. The design of functioning areas, location of furniture, fittings and other key elements will depend on criteria such as:

  • Is the meeting space in question to be mainly used as a place for formal negotiation or informal interaction?
  • What technological equipment needs to be included?
  • How will the meeting room design ensure that these resources are located, discretely or otherwise, for convenient use?
  • What is the overall look and impression required for this specific area?
  • Are there any special features, such as an exceptional view from a picture window, which can be used to good purpose?

Meetings, your way.

One of the prominent differences from traditional boardroom design is that many companies require boardrooms to be multifunctional and able to fulfil differing communication requirements.

 

One method of building versatility into a space for meetings is by using modular furniture, such as a long boardroom table that can be split up into smaller sections. This allows the room to be repurposed for different functions, such as using the separated table sections for group workshops or removing them altogether to configure the room for a theatre-style seating arrangement.

 

A well-designed boardroom also needs to take into consideration the rise of agile and hybrid working, which could involve including features such a video conferencing technology and digital room booking systems to assist with time management and space organisation.
