DESIGN I ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
ACOUSTIC CONSIDERATIONS
AV/TV & MUSIC STRATEGY CONSIDERATIONS
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
• The M Club should feature the highest bandwidth Wi-Fi within the hotel. Integrated instructions should present log-in information intuitively to guests. • Thoughtful consideration should be used regarding the location and quantity of power outlets to allow guests convenient access to charging. Consider opportunities for integrating power within furniture and millwork at locations visible and within reach. Fifty-percent of seating should have access to power. • The Library/business support should provide wireless printing and an accessible computer station. Provide thoughtful consideration to the integration of equipment and wire management. Airline arrival and departure monitors should be considered at airport locations.
ENTRY ADJACENCY CONSIDER ATIONS
TELEVISIONS • Consider guest control of TV programming. Multiple zones of programming satisfy a variety of guests’ viewing preferences. • Consider the proximity of TVs to seating areas. Locating TVs too far or too close can make viewing difficult or uncomfortable. • Consider size and location of TVs relative to the zone. Larger scale TVs are appropriate for open, communal areas while smaller TVs are more suited for more intimate areas and seating arrangements. Consider locations without TVs to accommodate guests who do not wish to watch. MUSIC PROGRAM • Provide music content, speaker and volume control for the M Club separate from the Greatroom and restaurant to allow a comfortable music level in each space throughout the day. • Consider multiple music zones within the M Club to allow variable volume control between social and personal spaces. • Utilize Marriott’s music program tools to provide on-brand strategy music curation. • Ambiance: Music should be adjusted throughout morning, midday and night, similar to lighting adjustments.
• Consider spaces/corridors and activities taking place adjacent to the M Club entry door. To prevent sound transmission into the M Club, install glass and full-height partitions to isolate noise from outside the MClub. • If the M Club entry is located in a main circulation corridor, consider finish materials with sound-absorbing properties to facilitate conversations between the host and members during peak hours. ACOUSTIC SEPARATION BETWEEN ZONES • Incorporate design elements to provide acoustic separation between experience zones. The volume from televisions should not distract members who are working individually. MATERIALITY AND FINISH SELECTIONS • Consider a mix of materials and finishes to avoid all hard surfaces. Area rugs can be installed in strategic areas of the lounge, as well as upholstered furniture and upholstered wall panels. • Consider varied ceiling heights to create unique spaces within the M Club.
