A boardroom is the place where major decisions are taken that affect everyone from the employees a company employs to the shareholders who own the shares. These meetings are held in a space sufficient to accommodate everyone and set in a location that encourages privacy. These rooms are often identified, but they may also be a basic conference space. However, the one common requirement for these rooms is that they be soundproofed. This will ensure that conversations don’t get interrupted by the sound of someone else’s conversation.
