The situation

Morguard had space on the 11th floor of their head office where they wanted to create a multipurpose presentation environment that could be used for a number

of roles including: corporate functions, intimate meetings and a lounge area for employees to relax and be entertained.

The installation

The Advanced team created a solution that divided Morguard's space into 3 key areas:

• a multimedia lounge for employees featuring high definition plasma displays and wide dispersion sound system
• a corporate presentation area that can accomodate up to 200 people featuring a motorized screen, computer projection system, custom podium with control system and sound system

About Acklands Grainger

Acklands was founded in Winnipeg in 1889 by Dudley Ackland. At that time, the Company was a pioneer in manufacturing and supplying wooden goods for various end uses. In 1996, Acklands was purchased by Grainger, a publicly traded company and the largest industrial distributor in North America with current annual sales of nearly $6 billion. Acklands-Grainger has grown to become Canada's largest distributor of industrial, fleet and safety products. Our parent company, Grainger, is the industry leader in industrial distribution in the U.S. With headquarters in Richmond Hill, Ontario, 155 branches across Canada, 5 distribution centres and more than 2,000 dedicated employees, Acklands-Grainger continues to secure its leadership position by working to anticipate and satisfy the needs of our more than 65,000 active customers.

The installation

Advanced is pleased to have been a key partner with Acklands Granger over the past few years providing complete audiovisual services for boardrooms and training rooms across the country. Projects have ranged from the design of the IT demonstration room featuring 3 Hitachi 55' plasma displays and Omnivex digital signage software to multiple videoconferencing installations taking place in Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Richmond Hill. When Acklands outgrew their existing facility and moved into the new Richmond Hill site, Advanced assisted with the deinstallation of audiovisual equipment and reinstall in the new location including the President's boardroom.
