The Network Operations Center is the hub of all development activities. It features a dividable rear-projection screen that can accommodate up to nine separate viewing areas, along with two large plasma screens, and individual desktop workstations which can function separately or together for any use--be it presentation, testing, development or research. Separate rooms for the Executive Briefing Center and Training Center enable smooth transition between product testing, showcasing and end-user education.

The 2,400 sf Training Center can be subdivided into three separate rooms. The overall room accommodates 116 persons for training at tables, or can be adjusted for theatre seating for 195 people. Each subdivided room is equipped with overhead projection, electronic white boards, and podiums to handle a variety of presentations.

The Executive Briefing Center seats 20 individuals at a custom table with integrated power and communications. Remote control operates the overhead projection camera, retractable screen, operable blinds, and lights. Video Tele-Conferencing and an electronic white board are hidden behind wood panel doors at the front of the room. A large relite allows presentations to be visible from an adjacent Network Operations Center.

Key to the design of the entire facility was the availability of state-of-the-art communication between companies and individuals, as well as between their products. The resulting layout provides a variety of pathways and connections through corridor spaces, and moveable walls to enable flexible use of space.

Working in a joint design effort with Wanzer Munizza Interior Design Studio, KDW achieved this fast-track project on time, and within budget.
