A Detailed Tour of Classic’s Remodeled Offices with Kevin Carty

June 1st, 2020 COMMENTS

Kevin Carty takes us on a tour of the remodeled Classic Exhibits offices.

New Magnetic and Whiteboard Panels

The office redesign includes Gravitee modular walls with detachable magnetic/whiteboard panels, tension fabric (backlit and non-backlit), and clear plex inserts. The changes provide greater personal safety since the surfaces can be cleaned or replaced. The upgraded cubicles offer more protection without sacrificing visibility or communication. All the surfaces can be branded.

In addition, Kevin illustrates how traditional cubicles can be modified with plex headers which adds height, privacy, and safety. For offices that need simple, inexpensive plex dividers, he shows two examples: a version that surrounds a desk on three sides and a partition between two desks.
