optional space type, also known as Obeya Room, Crisis Room, or Inbound/Outbound Shipping Rooms.

- Flexible furniture settings to accommodate different group sizes and meeting types
- Equipped with communication tools like VC screens, whiteboards, and agile walls for efficient response during crises
- Ability to make the room private for confidential calls and meetings.
- Different from a Conference Room in its advanced communication tools, flexible layout, and focus on functionality, resilience, and rapid response
