Shared Spaces

The meeting rooms and communal spaces are designed to demonstrate our commitment to living sustainably and creating an environment where visitors, clients and colleagues can connect, share and collaborate.

Accessible and highly flexible rooms and spaces are designed to support a variety of meeting types and experiences with AV and VC conferencing capabilities to support flexible working and global connection.

An effective meeting room management system will produce a myriad of data to allow the Concierge to manage booking statistics, identify utilisation and peak periods as well as use this information for internal charging purposes.

We use data and analytics to support intelligent decision making and monitoring of room occupancy, which in turn will assist in the adherence to government guidelines and appropriate social distancing.
Shared spaces will be kitted out with ‘sanitisation stations’ and appropriate signage to encourage guests and staff with maintaining hygiene and social distancing protocols.

The Ambassador provides oversight of the environment ensuring that the COVID-19 protocols pertaining to meeting room and communal space occupancy are adhered to, and that these spaces remain clean, clutter-free and ready for the day’s activities.

Between meetings, the rooms are cleaned with particular attention to high-touch surfaces, reset and refreshed ready for the next guests.
