AV Trends - Huddle Space Specialist

Suitably equipped huddle spaces are ideal for impromptu meetings and teamwork free from the distractions of open plan.

Huddle-room collaboration is proving a sustained trend, worldwide.

The trend recognises the need for informal spaces where small groups of four or less people, which make up more than half of all meetings, can collaborate with one another and colleagues in remote locations.

Huddle spaces as a result are small, flexible spaces providing for teams to meet and collaborate, free from the distractions of the open-plan layouts, standard in today’s workplaces.

While there are an estimated 33 to 50 millions huddle spaces globally, only 2-3% of them are video enabled so suitable only for focused individual work or face-to-face chats and not for true visual collaboration.

It takes more than a couple of sofas or an audio conferencing device to create an effective huddle space.

A huddle space should be equipped with simplified, easy-to-use and easy-to-support solutions, that empower users and delivers a great experience, whether platform native or supporting ‘Bring Your Own Device’ for content sharing and space-control or ‘Bring Your Own Meeting’, for user-selected choice of platform, and which provide utilisation data to monitor usage and inform ongoing space provision and design.

proAV have worked with Cooper Parry for a number of years at a variety of their sites but with the Derby location, Sky View, they wanted to remove the more traditional meeting areas and replace them with a free-flowing co-working environment encouraging interdepartmental working while creating the opportunity for clients and visitors to work from the same space.
