Four uses for large meeting rooms

Large meeting rooms aren’t just for meetings! If you have a conference room that seats around 30 people, you have an opportunity to get creative! Here are four ways to maximize that space:

Co-working. This can be particularly efficient if your employees mainly work on their own. Studies have shown that just being in a space with others can boost mood and creativity. So why not provide co-working times in your meeting space? Allow employees to bring their laptops and some snacks and just be in the presence of others.
An art exhibit. Art is a guaranteed mood-booster.. Consider working with local artists and change out the work hanging on your meeting room walls on a rolling basis. This gives employees a chance to step away and have a look at some lovely art. When you do use your room for meetings, you’ll also have a great conversation starter.
Meetups: As it becomes safer to gather in groups, some offices are using their large conference rooms for meetups or networking events. Inviting the community into your space gives a good opportunity to potentially reach new clients, but it also helps you emphasize that you value relationships and personal interaction.
Rent it out! This is the most practical item on this list, but if you have a large space and are comfortable renting it out to local businesses or nonprofits, you can make a little money and provide a much-needed resource.
