What has changed in workspace design in recent years? Workspace design considerations have hugely evolved through factors such as the pandemic, sustainability, individual wellbeing and more. This CPD aims to explore the changing workspace environment and demonstrate how adaptable spaces and systems respond to these factors and meet our needs and demands. Exploring the benefits, capabilities and design features of adaptable systems such as pods and relocatable partitioning systems to remove the fear of uncertainty of the future. This design-led CPD will encourage designers and specifiers to adapt spaces with the users and the planet in mind. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of: - To have a good understanding of the drivers for changing demands in the workspace- Have the ability to apply this understanding to future designs- To understand the benefits, capabilities and design features of adaptable systems such as pods and relocatable partitioning systems- To design workspaces for the future with the users and planet in mind without a fear of uncertainty

In line with the WELL Standards, this seminar explores the relationship between office design and individuals' wellbeing, with a specific focus on millennial's preferences in a working environment. From this, the seminar demonstrates how employee productivity and satisfaction are intrinsically linked to acoustic control. It will finish by exploring different future design solutions to divide spaces, including adaptable partitioning systems. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of: - The different partitioning solutions used to divide spaces and control acoustics- The WELL Standards and how the 10 concepts should be considered in building design- The relevance of millennials in the workplace and their preferences in the workplace- How dividing spaces and controlling acoustics can play a role in improving wellbeing and productivity in the workplace- The future of partitioning design and its role in dividing spacesThis CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.

This CPD will discuss the key factors to consider when specifying fire rated partitioning and screens. It will help specifiers design with fire safety in mind for a commercial setting; exploring topics including fire terminology, regulations, classifications, and the testing process. Beyond this, it discusses the performance, applications and building design considerations for fire rated glazed partitioning and doors, fire screens and fire rated timber doors. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of: - The key terms, ratings and classifications for fire safety- How to specify fire rated products, including fire rated partitioning, fire screens and fire rated doors (glazed and timber)- Key design considerations for fire safety best practice in a commercial setting- The limitations and importance of test evidence for fire rated systemsThis CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.

This seminar explores allowances and limitations in regard to height, width and glass type within BS 6180:2011 as an overview. The learning aims of this CPD are:1. To understand the benefits of using glazed partitioning.2. To understand how British Standards integrate with the specification process of partitions (BS 6180:2011).3. To understand safety glass types.4. To understand Internal wind loads - recognising UK (BS), Scotland (SER) and Ireland (BCAR) standards. 5. To understanding maximum height and width allowances, joints and deflection heads and measurements.By the end of this seminar delegates should:1. Have a basic understanding of using glazed partitioning allowances and limitations.2. Understand the design considerations for spaces that demand large scale partitions (extreme height or width).3. Have gained a better understanding of how glazed partitioning behaves in case of impact, abnormal or rough use.4. Understand the future of partitioning design and its role in dividing spaces.5. Recognise innovation of glass and its performance and understand how different glass types operate.

This seminar will discuss:- Introduction to Sound and Noise- Effects of Sound and Noise in the workplace- Testing and Acoustic Performance of Partitions- Designing and Specifying Partitions – Acoustic- Room Acoustic issues This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.

This interactive seminar will provide you with a recommended process for and an understanding of the key issues faced when specifying partitioning systems. It will help you to understand the following topics:- How to specify partitioning to meet performance requirements- The relevant Building Regulations, standards and performance parameters, including fire standards and how to meet environmental building requirements- Factors affecting the control of sound in a commercial environment- The key issues and potential risks when specifying partitioningThis CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.
