www.avnetwork.com: Over the past few years colleges, universities and corporations have adopted a more agile approach to meetings and working in groups. One of the ways companies are making this change is by implementing huddle rooms, which allow for more flexibility, and better opportunities to collaborate or to meet, whether it’s a decision making meeting or a group brainstorming session

Before reading this article, I did not even know what a huddle room is. After learning more about them and how they can be utilized, I think that they are a great idea. I think one of the main things that huddle rooms do and what the author mentioned is that they remove distractions. So often you will go into a large room for a meeting and people start wondering off physically or mentally. I'm not sure if this is right or not, but the smaller the room is the more effectively I would feel like I would need to work. The author of the article makes a good point though that Tech Managers are still dealing with old PC's, so how could they also be expected to have the newer technology of AirPlay and related systems installed in these rooms. I think these rooms would be a great addition to any organization as long as they are implemented correctly.
Huddle rooms sound so cool! I would love to have small group work spaces that have a very collaborative and productive atmosphere. My concern is the difference between mac and pc compatibility and the overall functionality of rooms that would obviously be used all the time. I'm sure the upkeeping of these rooms is a lot of work and would be difficult to schedule, especially if the rooms were open for use 24/7
The concept of having huddle rooms seems so incredibly simple that my first thought in reading the article was to wonder why they needed a whole article to explain them. After going through the text, though, I'm beginning to see that they could have a lot of potential as convenient and creative workspaces. Essentially, it's the technology that is placed in the room that makes the room a huddle room, and not the existence of the room itself (which might have been gleaned from the fact that the article is on a site called AV Network). But I agree that we need our workspaces to be more accommodating of all the different kinds of tech, new and old, that are around in order to streamline the entire process of meetings and to help ourselves be more efficient.
So, it is basically just a small conference room that has media/technology in it, right? I don't see how this is so special. What if you don't need a small room? What if you need a larger space to fit more people in that requires all of the same features? Then what are you going to do? These are probably great for small groups at universities or something much the same. The CUC now lets you have study rooms in the basement, and it'd be awesome if they updated them with this kind of technology. I don't really see that happening though because of the cost.
