Town Halls

Town Hall
Integrated Office Concepts
Pittsburgh, PA

Description

Town halls are informal multi-functional congregational places. These areas are used for large or small meetings and are typically available to all company employees.

Justification

"New ways of working requires meeting areas that go beyond conventional conference rooms." (Evolutionary Workplaces Issues Report, 1996). Not all meetings need to be formal and enclosed within four walls. Open and re-configurable congregational areas provide space for impromptu gatherings as well as company meetings.
