Office meeting pods are flexibly-designed workspaces that provide purpose-built space in open office environments for collaboration. Office pods have become popular as businesses have moved to open floor plans which offer minimal space for small-team meetings and private one-on-ones. Over 70% of meetings in the office only involve two to four people, so incorporating smaller office meeting pods into floor plans enables businesses to free up larger conference rooms for the number of individuals they were designed to host.

The majority of office meeting pods are designed with soundproofing materials that ensure what you say in an office pod, stays in an office pod. ROOM’s office meeting pods are engineered to reduce noise by 30 decibels.

The benefits of a private office in an open workplace are vast. Over the last decade, the average space per employee has dropped by more than 30 percent, to a much-too-snug 100 square feet per person. These close quarters have wreaked havoc on our concentration and resulted in plentiful noise complaints. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Harvard Business Review shared that more than 50 percent of Americans have complained about noise to their bosses. That’s over ½ of all American workers! In that same study, 63 percent of workers said they lacked space for focus work and even more startling, when their companies switched to open offices, face-to-face interactions fell by 70 percent. Plus, employee stress has skyrocketed and productivity has plummeted.

But fear not, modular private offices provide dedicated space for focused work in crowded offices and open floor plans. Purpose-built space for private calls and focused work sessions ensure businesses are providing flexibly-designed space that enables employees to do their best work, without the hassle of traditional construction. Plus, in the age of hybrid where teams may be spread out among offices, remote locations and well, anywhere with WiFi, private offices create personal workspace perfect for video conference calls and meetings.

A modular focus room is a prefabricated, self-contained space designed for quiet, distraction-free work in open or flexible office environments. It's "modular" because it’s built off-site in components (walls, ceiling, doors, etc.) that can be quickly assembled, disassembled, moved, or reconfigured — unlike traditional built-in rooms.

Key characteristics:

• Purpose: Designed for deep work, phone calls, video meetings, or solo concentration
• Construction: Made of modular panels (often sound-insulated), glass walls, ventilation systems, and integrated lighting
• Size: Typically smaller than a meeting room, meant for 1–2 people
• Plug-and-Play: Usually includes electrical outlets, USB ports, and lighting, requiring minimal setup
• Privacy: Soundproof or sound-dampening materials for acoustic isolation

Benefits:

• Quick installation with no major construction
• Flexibility to move or reconfigure as workplace needs evolve
• Cost-effective compared to traditional buildouts
• Helps reduce noise and distractions in open-plan offices

An ADA office pod is a workplace privacy pod or booth that is specifically designed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. These are self-contained, freestanding units often used in open-plan offices to provide private, quiet spaces for phone calls, meetings, or focused work — but with added accessibility features.

Key features of an ADA-compliant office pod:

• Wheelchair Accessibility:
  • Door width of at least 32 inches when open at 90 degrees
  • Sufficient interior space for a wheelchair to turn (usually a 60-inch turning radius)
• Low or No Threshold: Easy or automatic door entry for those with mobility impairments
• Reach Ranges: Controls (e.g., lighting, ventilation) must be within reach range for seated users
• Interior Seating Options: Either removable seating or adaptable layouts to accommodate different users
• Visual & Audible Signals: For emergency or occupancy indicators that are accessible to all

These pods allow organizations to offer inclusive privacy and productivity solutions in their workspaces. They're commonly used in corporate offices, co-working spaces, libraries, and even educational settings. Interested in an ADA office pod? The Room M and L series each offer two configurations that are ADA compliant - our Frame and our Focus Room.
