Meeting and community spaces
Delivering AV and UC technology solutions across meeting and community spaces including building-wide digital signage, projection, audio and wireless presentation and collaboration systems.
Stockport Homes Group moved their HQ to the new 54,500 sq.ft., four-storey Cornerstone office building in Stockport town centre. Designed by AEW Architects to house over 400 employees, it has set new levels of design standards for office buildings in Stockport.
Following a favourable recommendation by a neighbouring housing association, proAV tendered to the client and were commissioned to deliver AV technology across its meeting and community spaces including building-wide digital signage, projection, audio and wireless presentation and collaboration systems.
"The breadth of requirements on this project was such that Stockport Homes needed an audio visual partner who could design, install and support our vision whilst working with very aggressive timescales. proAV stepped up to the challenge and implemented a highly effective range of solutions featuring IPTV, room booking screens, public information screens with tailored content as well as our highly configurable community rooms, which are much in demand. "
John Chambers
Head of IT, Stockport Homes Group
"The solutions have been reliable and the support we get from proAV when needed is excellent – we have since extended the range of AV solutions into a second site to provide the same user experience."

The result is shared collaboration spaces for both employees and visitors.
Having completed a similar project for another local housing provider, proAV was familiar with the needs of a client in this industry and designed the scheme around its requirement for seamless, public-facing interaction and enhanced workplace agility and unity. Cornerstone is now a cutting-edge facility in which employees and visitors share flexible collaboration and presentation spaces, motivational meeting areas and coherent, customised corporate and public information messaging.
Our solution
proAV’s solution comprised a building-wide AV scheme that focussed on projection, digital signage, presentation and collaboration which would revolutionise the Group’s adoption of agile working, hot desking and public and private meeting spaces.
In terms of signage, a number of digital displays on each floor stream public information content to visitors and employees while three large displays in the ground floor reception space project content to passers-by.
Upstairs, a series of meeting rooms, presentation spaces, brainstorm hubs and a boardroom house dedicated wireless collaboration systems with fixed and mobile displays to provide a versatile AV network that can be easily adapted to serve other areas.
Key technologies include Barco Clickshare and Crestron switching and control with iPad Air 2 tablets. The digital signage, TV server and room booking systems are all from Onelan.
