BMC’s Executive Briefing Center

Project Description

Client: BMC
Location: Houston, Texas

Benham served as projects consultants on the design, messaging and audio-visual components to BMC Software Company to bring warmth and personal touches to a high-end Executive Briefing Center in Houston, Texas. The result is an 18,000 SF high-end facility with the following features:

  • An almost life-size image of a BMC executive greets visitors on the Activation Wall in the reception area.  As he welcomes guests and tells the BMC story, several side screens illustrate the message.
  • The Customer Success wall consists of interactive LCD screens framed with stainless steel and mounted on a textured bronze wall.  A touch panel activates the customer stores; when the screens are inactive, the wall becomes an electronic art gallery displaying beautiful landscapes.
  • On the BMC Innovation Wall, guests can learn about BMC’s history by interacting with a series of LCD panels mounted end to end to create a virtual timeline. The panels are mounted in front of a textured bronze backdrop.
  • Each briefing room contains dark brown wood and leather, and pieces from the extensive, museum quality BMC collection of Texas art and historical artifacts.
