Thinking Space supported Reflex Systems for the design and build of the control room furniture for the project.

The control room itself also benefitted from a full re-design and upgrade in conjunction with Thinking Space and benefitted from a new fourteen screen free standing monitor wall as well as three new consoles, one of which is fully height adjustable, to accommodate a total of six operators at any one time.

The project objective was to modernise and upgrade an existing and successful control room. FCM had a very wellformed specification for the new control room, both in appearance and technical specification.

The scope of works for Thinking Space included the brief of 4 different desk designs for the 96 positions. The desk designs had to meet the furniture layout arrangement that Showcase PSR had worked with the client to achieve.

Central to this design was 3 large horseshoe desk arrangements, one for each geographical region, Southampton, Portsmouth & the Isle of Wight. All desks installed were height adjustable and accommodated up to 4 screens per position. 

Thinking Space are delighted to announce that the new 2021 colour collection for your control room furniture is now available and will be demonstrated at The Security Event.

After the successful launch of the new printed panel in 2019, the finishes have been updated to reflect the latest trends in the office world for 2021/22.

In addition to this, a wider range of colours are now provided,  helping you to team your corporate identity with your control room.

Control rooms can be one of the most stressful environments to work in, and therefore it is crucial that organisations support the wellbeing of their operators. Now more than ever in this current climate, industries need to be building a healthier control room.

A healthier control room not only creates a comfortable, calming environment but it can also compliment a support programme for employee campaigns such as mental health training, employee assistance programmes, wellbeing networks and focus groups.
