A Look Into Accel’s AV Integration in their Conference Rooms

In 2016, we were approached by Accel — a venture capital titan best known as the first major investor of Facebook and Supercell — to design and install AV for conference rooms in its new office in London. The system needed to include AV integration, Sonos audio, video conferencing capabilities across three different meeting rooms, and video setups in the library and office fitness center.

A Custom Approach For A Complex Space

Our team had to manage multiple complexities in designing Accel’s solution. Heavy use of glass and steel in the new office’s design had produced a dramatic, stunning space, but created significant acoustic challenges. And, aesthetic considerations limited options for speaker and microphone placement.

TSP worked closely with Accel’s IT manager in London, sharing documents and dialogue about equipment specifications for video conferencing and strategies around integrating AV equipment from Accel’s previous office into the new system. To boost adoption and foster a seamless working environment, we also created a custom interface that allows anyone in the office — even admin staff — to use meeting rooms.
