The Multi-Purpose Room Concept

Businesses and institutions around the world are demanding more from their investment in real estate and interior space for employees and customers. One significant strategy deals with the design of flexible work places as a means of reducing costs while maintaining or improving worker productivity. It is now possible to apply this flexible workplace philosophy to the design of spaces for group communications and learning.

The tremendous flexibility and portability of the Tutor Furniture System permits facility designers and space planners to create multi-purpose rooms for all types of training, seminar and meeting activities. In effect, spaces can be planned for multiple uses because the system is so easily re-configured or stored when not in use.

A key space planning strategy is to consider the most common uses of the room in advance and create room designs that have the highest number of common elements. In this way, you can make one specification for multiple room uses that anticipates the need to reconfigure.

The depicted configurations show three possible uses for the same space employee training room, management seminar room and meeting/conference room.

Although the plans vary greatly to suit each application, they make use to a high degree of common furniture elements. By combining common elements in each floor plan, a single specification can be generated for multiple room uses with the ability to temporarily store elements not in use at any given time.
