Have you ever heard a football coach say, “Alright, let’s schedule a board meeting”? Probably not! They call a huddle. A huddle is a brief gathering to discuss a play before breaking and getting back to the game. This spontaneous meeting style is growing in popularity and has now made the jump from sports to the corporate world.

What is a huddle room?

A huddle room is a small, enclosed space designed for short, informal small group meetings. Huddle rooms are often located close to central working spaces to encourage impromptu gatherings. These dynamic spaces work best when equipped with the technical and collaborative tools necessary for both in-person and remote teams to meet at a moment's notice. 

Huddle room designs vary, but a general floor plan would be a small room of 250 square feet with enough room for a monitor, table, and seating for six people. Add a whiteboard or glass walls to write on and you have yourself an ideal setup for a collaborative huddle!

Benefits of a huddle room

There are many benefits to having and using huddle rooms—it's no wonder why these spaces are becoming so popular. Whether your office uses a traditional set up, open-space concept, hot desks, is hybrid, or is remote, incorporating huddle rooms can benefit everyone.

Some of these benefits include:

● Increases collaboration with short, spur-of-the-moment meetings

● Inclusive environment for all team members to participate

● Connects in-person and remote team members

● Fosters creativity, problem solving, and decision making

● Boosts productivity

● Versatile multi-use space

● Small footprint = cost effective  

Because huddle rooms are dynamic and flexible, they are essentially what you make of them. One team might use the space for a quick brainstorming session to kick off a big project. Another team may use it for their daily stand-up meeting. Another team could use a huddle room to meet with their remote team members to review a presentation before they go live. 

The possibilities are endless.
