June 22nd, 2011 by Jeff Klein
Kentwood Office Furniture was able to create an extremely large custom table with sufficient data capabilities to meet CAMP’s needs and their budget.
Crash Avoidance Metrics Partnership (CAMP) needed a very large 24 foot by 5 foot conference table for frequent meetings with a large number of people. They were struggling to find a table that met their needs, but also met their limited budget. They also needed to ensure that the table had a large number of power/data modules. Kentwood Office suggested a custom fabrication table. Kentwood constructed a 2 piece laminate table with 1 3/4″ built up edges. The bases were designed with wire management and wire access. Power unit openings were factory cut to fit Byrne Electrical 8 position MHO aluminum electrical/data units. The table included 24 electrical outlets, 24 CAT5 data outlets, VGA and HDMI ports.
