About

Innovative concepts for a leadership space

Founded in 1912 as the Metal Office Furniture Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Steelcase is over 100 years old. Their innovation legacy began in 1914 when they received their first patent for the manufacturing process developed to make a strong, durable, low-cost fireproof wastebasket – a major innovation at that time.

Looking back, it’s clear that Steelcase has always been about looking forward. Their past, present and future are all about turning insights into innovations that unlock the promise of people at work and make the world a better place.
 
During the century that Steelcase has been in business, the world had changed in ways no one could have imagined, and change comes faster every day. Tremendous new opportunities lie ahead.
 
For Steelcase one thing has remained constant: people have always been the core of the business, and for this new century as well. Unlocking human promise is the foundation for everything they’ve accomplished, and it’s this simple idea that carries us forward — a sincere expression of the company's pride in their work and what they do. Thanks to the spirit of Steelcase anniversary that celebrated this core truth, our future has just begun.

The interactive whiteboard for active learning

ēno® seamlessly blends analog and digital content, markers and multimedia, with the simplicity of a traditional whiteboard. No cords, cables or costly installation—ēno becomes part of the fabric of the building. Working in concert with other third-party software and display tools, ēno improves interaction between students, instructors and content for active learning.
The ēno interactive whiteboard was intentionally designed to combine both analog markers and digital multimedia into one surface. The result: the simplicity of a traditional whiteboard with the interactivity of a large flat panel display that transforms active learning and teaching in the classroom.
 
By allowing educators to use as much or as little technology as they need, ēno’s flexibility supports the ability to adopt new teaching behaviors, pedagogies, and technologies over time.

Encourage student involvement
 
ēno supports active learning by encouraging students to share content and build knowledge together, which leads to greater student engagement, comprehension and ownership of information.
 
The three types of collaboration — informative, evaluative and generative — depend on equal access to analog and digital information as well as the ability for all users to participate in the collaborative process, regardless of where they’re located.
 

Reliable technology

ēno offers straightforward technology that enhances presentation and collaboration in any space:

• Worry-free connection with the Bluetooth-stylus allows users to engage with content quickly and reliably.
• Intuitive icon strip provides access to digital tools with a single tap.
• Save, share, and distribute content quickly and easily.
• No cords, cables, or hard connections to power or data mean ēno is always ready to use.
• ēno supports third-party software and display tools without limiting functionality.

Futureproof spaces
 
The ēno interactive whiteboard works in any space to meet the needs of today’s evolving classrooms and workplaces. ēno adapts to and supports traditionalists and digital natives alike by providing access to both analog and digital tools, allowing them to use as much (or as little) technology as they need.
 
And as technology needs change over time, ēno will always provide the reliable dry erase surface.

Reserve spaces, not just rooms

Now users can book rooms and reserve meeting spaces knowing there won’t be a hitch, making it easy to get the most out of their connected spaces.

A smarter way to manage space and time

RoomWizard meeting room scheduling system keeps track of space utilization with the analytics console that measures and reports reservation patterns.

Adaptable

Corporate spaces
Whether in the library or an in-between space, providing them with privacy from others and tools to create a collaborative work environment is imperative.
 

Health spaces

Streamlined room scheduling saves time. Outside care rooms, screens display the RoomWizard room booking system, a welcoming touch for patients and their families and an efficiency enhancer for clinicians and staff.

Education spaces
Groups often meet to complete assignments. And individuals still need spaces for focused work. Whether in the library or an in-between space, providing them with privacy from others and tools to collaborate is imperative. RoomWizard extends a room booking system that supports different modes of learning.
