Privacy + technology. Intelligent rooms keep distributed teams aligned and connected, leveraging both analog and digital information to foster collaboration. V.I.A. elegantly hosts technology to create portals between physical and virtual worlds.
V.I.A. can provide true acoustical privacy for collaborative teams, as well as for workers in adjacent workspaces.
A butt-glazed option combines the acoustic benefits of V.I.A. with a light-scale profile that creates a streamlined aesthetic that is also cost effective.
Glass frames feature a mitered corner detail and can easily be switched from single glazing to double glazing for improved acoustic privacy.
Painted steel skin provides the highest level of acoustic performance and durability, providing a magnetic, painted surface and crisp edge detail.
The mitered edge offers a highly desired and consistent detail, difficult to achieve through traditional construction.
The surface mounted slider door with static seals and an operable base seal provides improved acoustics for door openings.
Reversible butt-hinge door features a door leaf mounted flush to the corridor to provide consistent planar alignment with solid skins and flush glazed glass.
Open + Defined. Lite Scale proves less is more. Butt glazing combines with slim, low-profile trim to achieve a striking minimalist statement. Lite Scale Glazing is a 1/2” glass solution with a minimalist recessive design meant to integrate with other Steelcase modular wall systems and traditional construction.
Using Lite Scale, you can create meeting rooms, enclaves and private offices with virtually seamless expanses of glass. Or add long runs of gorgeous glass fronts, uninterrupted by hardware.
With Lite Scale, glass meets at the corners –whether T-shaped, L-shaped or custom angle – without the need for vertical posts. This buttglazing solution also allows you to create long runs, up to 30’, of virtually seamless glass spanning up to 10’ high.
Lite Scale achieves a minimalist look with minimal impact on your budget that features a 1/2” thick glass and low-profile anodized or painted aluminum base trim. You can select from slider, butt-hinged, or reversible swing doors. As a modular solution it also depreciates faster than drywall, so you see tax benefits sooner. The redesigned, one-piece tracks create a cleaner aesthetic that allow large expanses of glass to run uninterrupted by frames.
Lite Scale can be used to create an entire enclosure, applied as a glass front to spaces made with conventional architecture or integrated with other Steelcase architectural solutions. The system works with a range of glass types, including tempered and laminated glass. Glass can also feature Casper™ Cloaking Technology to obscure digital screens while maintaining clear, open views.

freestanding focus + privacy pods
Privacy pods are freestanding one- or two-person quiet rooms that you can use for distraction-free phone calls or private conversations between team members. Privacy pods have become popular for companies with open floor plans where noise can be distracting, making it difficult to focus.
Leading companies understand employees require different environments depending on the work they need to get done. Privacy pods are a great way to provide a quiet area that blocks out the noise and allows people to focus on doing their best work.

Phone booths are incredibly popular spaces for making quick calls in private; a vast improvement over calling from stairwells or corridors. Booths have become so popular, however, that staff complain when they can’t find an empty one. In fact, research shows that many staff love phone booths a little too much, abusing the ‘quick call’ function by occupying them for long periods of time – an hour+, or even half a day.
Rather than attempting to discourage this by making booths as cramped as possible, we’ve instead developed a concept that, while it encourages quick calls, also offers more space and functionality for those needing to spend longer, more focused time inside.
This extended bandwidth offers clients a perfectly pitched broader function, in a neat compact package.

Noise and lack of speech privacy can create a workplace full of distraction.
Recent studies demonstrate that noise and speech privacy (even more than noise) top workers’ lists of complaints. Studies also indicate that workers feel their productivity would improve if their offices were less noisy and offered improved speech privacy.
Sound masking can help.
The what and why of sound masking
Sound masking – a band of frequencies that covers human speech wavelengths – provides privacy and focus in workspaces without excessive volume or undue distraction.
Unlike white or pink noise (which are inefficient and often problematic), sound masking uses precise filtering to deliver a quiet, uniform and air-flow-like background sound.
Highly effective, sound masking can cover conversations and ensure confidential speech is safe and undetected in closed offices or meeting rooms.
• direct-field sound masking that is more efficient and effective than in-plenum systems and adds a base layer of privacy
• a complete enterprise solution supporting multiple zones
• includes a variety of control modules and volume adjustable emitters help fine-tune the appropriate solutions for offices of any size
• supports music and paging
• network control provides the ability to adjust volume levels and access advanced features over a local network
Learning and working can be done from anywhere and even en route—how are we powering these experiences?
Mobility, technology and changing workstyles have increased the demands placed on physical space and pressure placed on renovation budgets.
Updating power access using traditional methods like core drilling and trenching can be expensive or even impossible in historical or academic buildings, and raised flooring only works under certain conditions.
The Thread System from Steelcase is a combination of power poles and power hubs that accommodate every possibility.
Installing Thread is as easy as laying carpet, with modularity that makes it easy to reconfigure.
Power can easily be added to new construction or retrofitted into existing spaces.
Every square foot of real estate can be optimized with power, revitalizing ‘dead’ zones.
