- Major issues. It is inevitable that meeting rooms will face wear and tear after weeks of regular use. Sometimes a quick repair can make a big difference. However, if there are substantial issues such as a leaky ceiling or cracking walls, it's time for a full renovation.
- Out of date style. There are new decorating trends every decade. If you've skipped the last few of them, your meeting space most likely looks outdated and needs an overhaul.
- New demographics. Are you trying to reach a new target audience? You may need to update your aesthetic to fit their needs.
- Coming up on a lease renewal. If you haven't renovated in a while and your lease is going to be renewed in the near future, you may be able to leverage financing from the landlord for an upgrade.
If you've decided that
you're ready for a renovation, consider one or more of the following upgrades:
- New technology. The space should be fitting for conference calls and online meetings as well as presentations. Consider a wall-mounted flat screen television with a webcam, a wireless keyboard and mouse to operate the system and a multi-directional speaker phone.
- Bold colors. Bold colors are a great choice for young companies and firms focused on cutting edge technologies. Consider painting a wall a bold color or selecting chairs or other furnishings that make a statement.
- User-friendly space. Purchase new chairs, install convenient power outlets and cord holes for laptop use and plan for a refreshments area.
- Innovative service angles. Flexibility is the key for meeting rooms these days. Facilities, event spaces and staff should be able to accommodate a wide variety of clientele and events from board meetings to black tie galas.
