EntreBank Bloomington Headquarters — 5th Floor Boardroom and Employee Lounge


Acoustic Performance Meets Flexible Space Management



For EntreBank's 5th-floor boardroom and employee lounge, we collaborated with Studio EA Architects (Minneapolis) and MOD Solutions Contractors (Minneapolis) to bring their design vision to life — pairing acoustic performance with flexible space management across both spaces.

EntreBank’s fifth-floor boardroom and employee lounge demonstrate how Modernfold operable partitions can provide acoustic separation while allowing the workplace to adapt for meetings, employee activities, and larger gatherings.



We provided two complementary systems: an Acousti-Clear® STC 45 glass operable partition between the boardroom and employee lounge, and an Acousti-Seal® STC 50 operable partition to separate the boardroom.

The Acousti-Clear glass partition provides substantial sound control while maintaining sightlines and allowing light to pass between the boardroom and employee lounge.


When closed, the two rooms can operate independently, allowing meetings and lounge activities to take place simultaneously. When the panels are opened and stacked, the spaces become one larger environment for company meetings, presentations, receptions, training sessions, and employee gatherings.



Advantages include:

STC 45 acoustic performance

Shared light and an open appearance

Independent or combined room configurations

Quick reconfiguration without construction

Acousti-Seal: Boardroom Privacy and Performance


The Acousti-Seal operable partition separates the boardroom and provides an STC 50 acoustic rating. This substantial sound control creates a quieter, more focused setting for board discussions, strategic planning, financial presentations, video conferences, and other important meetings.



Advantages include:

Strong sound control STC 50 for important conversations

Fewer distractions during meetings

Flexible configurations for different group sizes

Concealed end-of-wall panel storage

Performance for space management adaptability

Together, Acousti-Clear and Acousti-Seal allow EntreBank to create multiple configurations within the same footprint. The boardroom and lounge can operate separately during the workday or combine into a larger gathering space when needed.


The concealed Acousti-Seal storage pocket also minimizes the amount of floor area devoted to panel storage, leaving more usable space for meetings and events.



This flexible approach increases the value of the available square footage, reduces the need for dedicated single-purpose rooms, and allows the workplace to evolve without costly renovations.

Skyfold Performance & Flexibility Without the “Can Everyone Help Move This?”
By Ira Hackner April 23, 2026
In collaboration with Alliiance Architects (Minneapolis) and Sheehy Construction (St. Paul), our team helped bring their meeting room renovation design at the Minneapolis Convention Center to life—delivering Modernfold Acousti-Seal Encore® operable wall systems (STC 54) designed for flexibility, performance, and long-term durability. When most design professionals start thinking about using an operable wall system, they usually focus on the panel. That makes sense as panel type, STC levels, and finishes are important. What about the track? After all, unless the system is motorized, those panels aren't going to move themselves! Some of the panels on this project weigh almost 800 lbs.! By using radius curved track, Modernfold was able to design a wall and track system that will provide easy operation for years to come.
