Nearly 45 years ago, AVI-SPL, which began as Audio Visual Innovations, embarked on a simple mission: to deliver cutting-edge audio-visual (AV) solutions. Over time, the company has become a global leader in AV and unified communications technology and was ready to revolutionize its own workspace.
The JLL Approach
The partnership kicked off with visioning sessions and focus groups to develop design guidelines, optimal floor planning and a journey map. This collaborative process ensured everyone understood AVI-SPL's vision for the new regional hub.
"As a global organization, our goal was to ensure that any reconfiguration of our workspace would be implemented consistently across all our offices," said John Stochmal, operations manager at AVI-SPL.
JLL's design team confirmed what employees and clients wanted in a modern AV workspace, surveying stakeholders to narrow down the final design concept. Tech-forward design elements that would transform the workplace into a client-facing showcase were central to the vision. The design incorporated:
- A large video wall in the reception area
- State-of-the-art conferencing technologies throughout the space
- A visible server room with a glass front
- Human-centric features like ergonomic sit-to-stand desks and flexible workspaces
- Multi-functional collaboration spaces, including a café, innovation lab and training room
Bringing it to life
Once the relocation plan was set, JLL's PDS team and AVI-SPL collaborated to make the move and create a new workspace. This project brought together the best of design, functionality and efficiency to create a cost-effective and impactful solution that would transform AVI-SPL's operations.
