2021 INTEGRATION AWARDS Meeting Room
IVCi: ALL HANDS
MEETING ROOM
When this tech company
was looking for several
brand-new spaces and
meeting rooms, it turned
to a preferred vendor in
IVCi which had done many
projects for the company
before. by Jonathan
Blackwood
THIS PROJECT WAS COLLABORATIVELY
designed by the tech company's AV engineering
team and AlfaTech. IVCi contributed
to the project by reviewing preliminary
engineering documents, determining the
validity of the project and ensuring there
were no foreseeable issues.
IVCi was also responsible for communication
between the client and the contractor
for approval, as well as managing the project
start to finish, including deployment, implementation,
commissioning, and handoff.
The solution was a new addition to the
collection of projects IVCi has completed
for the tech company. It enabled IVCi to
be a partner of the client rather than just
another vendor. Although the systems
themselves were fairly standard, the project
allowed IVCi to finely tune its process and
become more efficient.
The project consisted of several design
elements over five floors. IVCi provided
design assistance and support with the new
standard. IVCi also created IFC drawings to
verify based on the guidelines provided by
standard, calling out any changes for future
builds and designs.
In regard to implementation and commission,
IVCi provided the following:
› All Hands Room
› 28 duo rooms
24
› 23 small rooms
› 3 large rooms

› 25 medium

The scope of work was initially intended
to take roughly 90 days, however due to
the circumstances of the pandemic that
timeline was halted. For a project this size,
90 days was already a rigorous timeline,
and it was going to be tough to complete
it in that timeframe, but IVCi was confident
based on the planning and partnerships.
All items for each room were " room kitted "
per room type and assigned a room name.
This allowed technicians to arrive on
site with all items needed for each specific
room already placed in each room, which
means there is no scrambling through
pallets of gear to find what's needed to
complete the project.
All equipment racks had been built and
tested at the IVCi headquarters location,
then palletized and shipped to site for
deployment.
The biggest challenge of this project is

one that many felt during 2020; the global
pandemic. This caused a lot of direct-tosite
shipments to be rerouted and tracked,
deployment and redeployment efforts,
COVID-19 checklists and protocols were
being developed on the fly, and there were
rarely clear guidelines to follow.
It was also challenging managing the
shifting timelines for floor turnover as
construction and other trades fell behind
schedule due to the pandemic.
IVCi has received positive feedback
from the client and partners involved in the
project.
