A sixteen-space buildout with technology that ranged from a simple display on the wall, to integrated control systems that manage every aspect of the room.
Tempest was invited to talk with the SMCU team in regards to their brand new headquarters that was planned to build out in the SODO district of Seattle. Tempest partnered with the credit union to form an initial budget and AV system design based on input from multiple departments within SMCU; including IT, Training, HR, Facilities and select members of the executive team. After being located in the same building for the previous twenty plus years, this project was a significant investment towards their future.
The end result was a sixteen-space buildout with technology that ranged from a simple display on the wall and user inputs at the table, to integrated control systems that manage every aspect of the room, a ceiling mounted projection system and a integrated audio and video conferencing systems. The sixteen spaces included: an executive boardroom, divisible conference room, large conference room, two training rooms, five medium conference rooms, five small conference rooms and an all hands space that seats over one hundred people; all with varying levels of technology and complexity.
In addition to the AV systems required for the new build out, due to the open office design a sound masking system was installed to mitigate any noise distraction in the office environment.
Since most of this technology was new to the credit union staff, Tempest provided multiple training sessions so that key stakeholders were proficient in the use of those systems after the initial turnover of the space. Additionally, Tempest is currently providing extended support for their audio visual systems, which includes up keep and preventative maintenance to ensure that the rooms stay online and with SMCU’s Seattle expansion of their retail branches Tempest is providing integration and support services for each new location.
