TEECOM Headquarters

Oakland, CA

Overview

“Engineer, heal thyself” came to mind when TEECOM sat down to renovate our Oakland HQ. As an engineering design firm dedicated to active collaboration and technology advancement, our space no longer met our needs. We wanted a workplace that reflected our passion for research and product testing and created an immersive, energizing experience for TEEm members and visitors alike.

TEECOM’s Solutions

The redesign centralizes the TEEm in an open environment, allowing us to collaborate and switch up work groups easily. Since TEECOMers work on mobile devices of their choice, the office space is networked for constant mobility. Eight enclosed conference rooms each feature flatscreens for video conferencing and screensharing. These get plenty of use, facilitated by online room scheduling and digital touch panels outside each door.

Benefit to the Client

TEECOM’s TEEm gathers multiple times a month for lunches, happy hours, and knowledge sharing. Now we have a space that matches our TEEm spirit, with a 13.5-foot by 6.2-foot video wall, couch seating, a 14-foot standing-height dining table, and a kitchen with a large island for catering. The AV system is designed for ease of use, with a prompting screen adjacent to the lectern, and integrated speakers and microphones. And if you’re wondering what TEECOM’s award-winning Lobby Transit app looks like in real life, look no further than the 13.5-by-4-foot video screen that gives our reception area a high-tech glow.
