The Challenge
In 2023, East Hampshire District Council East Hampshire District Council (EHDC) moved into a more efficient, more advanced and more environmentally friendly building in Petersfield. As part of this move, the Council wanted to ensure that their new building offered well-designed and easy to use meeting rooms to facilitate effective communication and collaboration.
In April 2023, Purify were initially contracted to install a proof-of-concept (POC) Microsoft Teams Room. This POC space allowed the Council to test out the solution and garner insights into Purify’s approach to design, install and support.

This POC project was a success and Purify proceeded to work with EHDC on the design and implementation of the other meeting spaces.
A particular challenge was the canteen space; this space is used for council meetings and required an innovative design approach to ensure that hybrid council meetings were inclusive and accessible.
