Encourage Learning with the Right Design & Technology

Is your business ready to revamp corporate training rooms or learning centers? Training rooms are dedicated spaces to facilitate learning and interactive activities. Whether you’re sharing new skills, company goals, hosting seminars, or educating the team on new processes, there’s no single way to use training rooms.

And since all companies use training spaces differently, not all training rooms are the same. Ideally, the room should be centrally located, spacious, and comfortable to spend many hours inside. But what else?

We design and install technology systems in offices across Huntsville, AL, and the surrounding area. Here are our tips for a successful training room environment.

First, Consider Your Business’s Needs 

What will you use training rooms for? Maybe you’ll be educating employees on communication techniques with clients. Or perhaps staff will use the space to learn how to use software or IT skills. Your company’s specific needs should influence the technology installed and room layout. Training rooms don’t have to be one-size-fits-all!

Use Correct Lighting

You don’t want employees falling asleep due to too-dim lighting—but you also don’t want to cause headaches and discomfort from fluorescent lights. You can easily incorporate natural light with motorized shades that raise at one press of a button. And if it’s time to display information on the projector? Lower the shades with a tap on your control panel.

You can also adjust smart lighting to the perfect brightness and color temperature. When designing training rooms, we also ensure that lights are in ideal locations to prevent shadows over tables.

Implement Latest Technology 

Today’s corporate technology makes collaboration and sharing easier than ever. Choose from a range of AV solutions, including:

  • Interactive smart whiteboards
  • Ceiling-mounted projector
  • Large-format displays
  • High-quality speakers
  • Wireless microphone
  • Wireless content sharing

We’ll make sure outlets for computers and laptops are strategically placed at tables to avoid cords strewn across the floor. Tabletop conferencing devices make it easy to join calls and share content with one tap on the screen. And it’s all synced to one centralized system!

Choose Room Configuration 

How should you arrange your training room? Formal rows of seats in classroom and auditorium setups work well for town hall meetings and video presentations. But if you’ll be mostly engaging in conversations, consider a round, U-shaped seating arrangement. Make sure seating is ergonomic and comfortable to create a relaxing learning atmosphere.
