A network from AVIXA
What’s the role of the office in the modern workplace? That’s a question we’re asked daily as we meet with people from organizations of every size. To help you answer it, AVI Systems teamed up with our partners at HOK, a global design, architecture, engineering, and planning firm.
We believe you can avoid a return-to-office mandate and create a workplace worth returning to — but it requires a new approach. It’s no longer enough to consider how many conference rooms you need, the maximum number of chairs each room can hold, and where to hang a digital display.
As you consider how to create a modern workplace, complete with spaces that are meaningful and useful to employees, you must go beyond fundamental design questions and bring AV into the
conversation earlier in the process.
By asking deeper questions and taking more of a science-backed approach, you can make better decisions and create spaces more fit for purpose. This guide features recent HOK thought leadership about essential workplace gathering spaces and shares AVI’s tech considerations for each.

Focusing on the purpose of each space and the unique needs and goals of each team can help organizations make spaces that are not only useful but also interesting and flexible. It's very important to stress variety and choices because it recognizes that people work and collaborate in different ways.
