New Relic
Portland, OR
Overview
New Relic makes software that makes your apps work smarter. They wanted their office space to work smarter, too, to keep their highly creative millennial workforce happy. New Relic’s staff pushes the envelope on the mobile work style, preferring laptops to permanent desking along with a variety of support spaces. They’re proud of a work environment that they describe as “nerdvana:” heavy on tech, replete with options, and collaboration friendly.

TEECOM’s Solutions
TEECOM was brought in to design Audiovisual, Acoustical, Security, Telecom, and Wireless systems for New Relic’s new San Francisco and Portland offices. Hard surfaces and an open ceiling plan in both locations made acoustics and Wireless Access Point (WAP) placement a challenge. TEECOM worked closely with the architects through several design iterations to get the best aesthetic and technical result. The infrastructure design meets New Relic’s corporate standards while providing a custom feel for each location.

As New Relic dives into Artificial Intelligence (AI) for data interpretation, it can rest assured that its high-throughput tech needs will be met by low-voltage systems designed for the future.
