Many businesses make the mistake of not properly designing their conference room and simply push together some tables and chairs in order to fit enough enough people for a given meeting. This, however, may lead to a downfall in the presentation or the meeting itself, as the conference room design is very important. It is possible to utilize almost any space while creating a conference room design that fits the business. Before any sort of conference can ever take place inside meeting room, the proper configuration must first be put into affect.
Digital Media
Digital media is becoming more and more important in the world of business, as this technology makes it easier for clients, customers or the business itself to present necessary information in clear-cut formatting. This is why taking the conference room design and basing it around digital media and digital presentations is so important. In order to fit the most amount of people inside the space, long, rectangular tables are often utilized. This way, seating can occur on all sides of the table, with the office manager or the person who is leading the meeting at the head of the table. There is nothing wrong with this set up, but it is the placement of the digital media that makes it important. A projector screen, projector and other content must be installed on one of the four walls in the room. There are the two walls running parallel with the long sides of the tables, and then there are the walls running parallel with the short sides of the table(s). It is necessary to not simply install the projector screen on just any wall. If the screen is placed on one of the walls behind a long side of the table, it forces half of the meeting staff to turn around, and should the room be rather narrow, it becomes difficult to see. Instead, the projector must be installed on one of the walls running parallel with the short end of the tables.
Now, there are two sides remaining for the projector screen. It should go on the opposite end of the door into and out of the conference room. This way, if someone needs to leave it does not distract the person giving the presentation, and they can do it quietly. The office manager should always face the screen also, so they would sit on the opposite side of the table.
Window Space
When setting up and choosing the best conference room space, it is important to look at the windows in the office. Locating a meeting room that doesn't have any windows to the outside may make some employees and others in the room feel a bit claustrophobic. Simply having windows open, letting in sunlight, is a nice feature to have and it helps improve the mood in the conference room. Information discussed inside a conference room is not always desirable or easy to go over, so allowing those who are at the conference to feel a bit easier is always a valuable option. On top of this, an individual looking to rent out meeting space needs to look at the wall space opposite of the windows. If possible, looking for glass walls does help increase the feel of the room and make it feel less stuffy. Of course, having blinds to shut off the view from the outside is important, but simply feeling like an open space, even if it isn't entirely a large space is a valuable way to save on renting out an office meeting space, without pay for a larger space.
