The Facility
Our facility, centrally located in Midtown Manhattan is a conference room center designed for the 21st Century. The facility boasts four state of the art focus group suites, each equipped with top of the line audio-visual equipment. The design process began with consultations with top Manhattan interior designers and artists. The objective was to design a facility that is unique to New York and the country. The color scheme, layout and graphics are inspired by artists with a creative flow in mind so there will be comfortable space to conduct your research and get your creative juices flowing that is uninhibited by outside media. When you walk off the elevator, and are greeted by your host you will know you came to the right place.
Each suite offers surround sound. Two large LCD TVs for video playback are mounted in all four respondent rooms (one on each side for maximum viewing exposure). Each comfortable viewing room has individual A/C control (separate from respondent room controls) staged seating, wireless internet throughout and an attached client lounge equipped with closed circuit television, a computer, printer and internet access. If our clients need more privacy, we also have 3 private client booths, each with a phone, computer and printer.
We hope you will be impressed with our audio-video set-up. Our A-V was designed with client needs in mind; the goal is to offer the best technology available in the United States. When leaving the facility, clients can choose to take their audio and video in any format including: DVD, VHS, CD and we can even download your audio onto a thumb-drive, an MP3 Player or directly to your laptop. We also offer video streaming or conferencing through FocusVision and ActiveGroup.
Our largest room can seat up to 50 respondents and 25 viewers. Our most intimate setting is Suite #4, which can always accommodate a living room set-up. The living room set-up has individual plush seating (in the viewing room too), each seat has it’s own end table to make writing or taking notes as easy for respondents as it is for the moderator. Respondent waiting areas are secluded separately so clients can check in privately without worrying about respondent’s overhearing subject matter or end-client affiliations.
We welcome you to stop by, view the facility and meet the staff. Please call us anytime you would like to stop by and view the facility and we will be happy to give you a tour.
