What's in the Adobe Studio? -- Spaces4Learning

The Studio introduces itself by cantilevering through a new 16- by 32-foot opening in the existing lobby’s east wall and is visible from the entrance below.
A stainless-steel-clad Help Desk varies from standing- to seating- to wheelchair-height to accommodate various seating configurations and interactions. Power and data ports allow ad hoc work teams to “plug in” anywhere — and include drains for spilled coffee.
A Video Production Studio includes a horizon-less green screen, which simplifies replacement of backgrounds in live video, and sound-absorptive wall panels to minimize sound flutter.
An Audio Production Studio houses audio recording and editing equipment.
Seating varies, from stools to chairs and modular “living room” groups to on-floor lounge chairs. All are portable.
Technical provisions allow collaborators to share live screen images from multiple computers within the group or on public screens within the Studio.
The “Behance Wall,” a cluster of wallmounted monitors — one of only three in the country and the only one outside of Adobe’s headquarters — streams projects based on criteria entered by touchscreen within the Studio.
Three-inch-high access flooring throughout allows access to and easy reconfiguration of data and power wiring as the future placement and technology evolves.
