Audio-Visual and Technology Features
Applied Underwriter's new headquarters has many excellent features, from energy-efficient spaces to daylighting and natural light exposure. One of the project's unique features is the audio-visual systems and technology. Morrissey Engineering designers have been working closely with the architects and owners. Complimenting the architectural elegance are the creative uses of space and audio-visual spaces in the offices and welcoming guests in the entryway of the new corporate building.
As you step into the grand public atrium, you're greeted by the commanding presence of LED video walls. These walls captivate visitors and serve as a dynamic canvas for company branding and important announcements. The interplay of light and design transforms the space into an inviting hub of activity where collaboration and inspiration thrive.
Moving deeper into the office, the conference spaces are meticulously designed to facilitate effective communication. Equipped with advanced audio-visual features, these rooms are tailored for everything from board meetings to creative brainstorming sessions, ensuring that every idea can be shared and developed collaboratively.
Next are the huddle rooms, intimate spaces that allow teams to gather spontaneously. Here, technology enhances productivity with SMART screens and seamless connectivity, making it easy for teams to sync up and bring their visions to life without the barriers often associated with traditional meeting rooms.
State-of-the-art equipment allows for interactive learning experiences in the training rooms. Whether it's corporate training sessions or workshops, these spaces are equipped to handle various needs, fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth among employees.
Finally, the auditorium stands as a testament to the project's future. Featuring an expansive LED video wall and a sophisticated sound reinforcement system, this space is designed for impactful presentations and events. It's more than just a venue; it's a place where ideas can be shared with clarity and enthusiasm, making each event memorable.
The dedicated design team works closely with architects Holland Basham Architects and Studios Architecture to weave technology into the fabric of this corporate office. They are not just designing systems; they are shaping experiences. The result is a harmonious blend of function and form, ensuring the space looks exquisite and inspires creativity and collaboration for years to come.
