![](https://realcomm.com/filecabinet/Advisory/000000/SBS-Penn1-Cisco.png)
The IBcon Smart Building Best Practice Showcase is an annual event held at the Realcomm | IBcon conference where real estate leaders present their most innovative, technology driven commercial and corporate real estate projects. These projects demonstrate leading-edge technologies and vision for intelligent and adaptive design that is transforming the next generation of IT-enabled real estate. The Weekly News Briefing will feature a unique Showcase project each week.
PENN1 is Cisco’s first hybrid workplace. The New York City Talent and Collaboration Center was designed utilizing a technology-first mindset, taking an integrated approach that simplifies building management, reduces operational costs and enables a state-of-the-art hybrid work environment. This smart building immersive experience re-imagines the office to attract top
talent, help ensure well-being, and provide new flexible ways to work. Penn1 is optimized for collaborative space, understanding that collaboration is not a single activity. Sharing information, making decisions, and brainstorming each has a specific set of technology requirements. From large training rooms to the ultimate immersive video conferencing experience, built for the modern C-suite, to small huddle spaces, to hot-desking to the Grand Community lounge, Cisco’s PENN1 facility is a showcase of what is possible: making the office a magnet, not a mandate.
