The Norway House aimed to enhance the flexibility of its expanded campus's conference center, dining area, and lobby to accommodate larger events. Their specific requirements included:


  • Quick Transformation: Their ability to swiftly convert a large area into smaller sections or vice versa, allowing for seamless adaptation based on event needs and occupancy levels.
  • Optimal Acoustic Control: Their need for excellent sound insulation in different spaces to ensure minimal noise transmission and create a conducive environment for conversations, presentations, and gatherings.
  • Functionality and Aesthetics: Their desire to combine practical functionality with an aesthetically pleasing appearance, ensuring that the added space flexibility solution serves its purpose and complements the overall design and ambiance of the facility.๏ปฟ

In collaboration with McGough Construction (Minneapolis) and Thorbeck Architects (Minneapolis), we identified the ideal solution for their requirements: The Modernfold Acousti-Seal Premiere, Bi-parting electric wall.

The selection of the Modernfold Acousti-Seal Premiere, Bi-parting electric wall, successfully addressed Norway House's needs, providing superior acoustic control, flexibility, privacy, aesthetics, energy efficiency, increased space utilization, and ease of operation for their conference center.
