The Resolve System
“Resolve is welcoming. It’s based on a geometry that nature
uses. The 120-degree angle is the favorite angle in nature.
It’s how honeycombs are made and how trees branch out.
The reason for that is it’s the most economical solution.”
– Ayse Birsel
What’s natural for people comes
naturally to Resolve. Like Openness.
Connection. Imagination. Performance.
Simplicity. Balance.
Resolve is a human-centered system
that invites people to feel valued
and connected. It’s a place to perform and
display work—individually or in teams.
A place that links people with technology.
Nurtures innovation. Balances employee
enrichment with economics. And blends
functionality with refi ned design.
Resolve supports a wide variety of
environments, from traditional workspaces
to innovative applications. Its versatile
character lets organizations create
environments to suit their vision. It’s where
people express their personality, innovate,
and communicate.
Resolve helps people do what
comes naturally.
Imagine. Connect. Create. Grow.

breadth of applicationThe patterns of Resolve are based on five organized, repeatableconfigurations called “constellations.” Each offers a different levelof enclosure, from open, two-sided constellations to more private,five-sided ones. Designers can cluster and mix the constellations toform more complex patterns that optimize floor space and supportgroup and individual work—whatever professionals need.
wide range of storageFreestanding and attached componentsstore work materials and keep them at hand.From display stands to bookshelves toladder shelves, there are plenty of places toput things. Attachable components fastento work surfaces, poles, and support arms.Storage cabinets have a variety of reconfig-urable interiors, and traditional pedestaland lateral file products integrate well withthe Resolve system. Such a variety of choicesprovides numerous options for active,archival, and team storage.

acoustical choicesTwo advanced acoustical solutions—the acoustical insert and Qt Quiet technology™—enableconcentration in three ways: sound absorption, sound blocking, and sound masking.The acoustical insert, which fits between two boundary screens, absorbs and blocks sound.Qt Quiet technology, a speech-privacy system, attaches to tall poles and emits a patented,direct-field sound spectrum that matches the frequencies of the human voice. In concert, theycreate an environment favorable for heads-down work.
power and data all aroundResolve lets organizations choose the most cost-effective method for distributing power anddata. An overhead system of trusses carries power and data to poles and between workstationclusters. Its external cabling keeps cables accessible from the building entry point to individualports at the work surface level. A truss can hold a 6-circuit, 10-wire electrical harness and hascapacity for 144 Category 6, 4-pair UTP cables at a 60 percent fill rate. Cable troughs accommo-date a large bend radius. Since power and data pathways in the overhead truss system areindependent of applications below, workstations can change without disconnecting networksor causing employee downtime.
Power and data can also be distributed from pole to pole using the power/data channel locatedalong the lower support arm. Each channel holds up to 117 Category 6, 4-pair UTP cables at a60 percent fill rate. And, power and data can be distributed through existing raised floors intoResolve poles.
A 6-circuit, 10-wire electrical harness can be specified inside a powered pole. The system’scircuit combinations include 4 general and 2 isolated ground circuits, 3 general and 3 isolated,or 2 general and 4 isolated ground circuits.
environmental senseResolve has a significantly lower impact on the environment than traditional furniture systems.Workstations, which are 86% recyclable and contain 27% recycled materials, are also aboutone-third the weight and volume of most systems. And every part can be easily disassembledfor recycling.

z Case Study / 2007
Binghamton University wanted to create an attractive
information commons in the Bartle Library, which would
combine the services of the library with access to the
computer lab. Resolve and Ethospace workstations with
mobile Caper chairs create a progressive, collaborative
space that has dramatically increased the number of
students using the library.

z Binghamton University, Bartle Library Case Study / 2
Binghamton University’s Bartle Library was a stereotypical college institution: stolid, stone,
traditional. And, as with many libraries, it was designed to serve “the solitary scholar quietly
studying in a little carrel surrounded by high walls to minimize distraction,” says John
Meador, director of Binghamton University libraries.
However, students today rarely study alone, and they don’t seem to mind a few distractions,
either. But distractions were few in the Bartle Library, and users were becoming scarce as well.
Meanwhile, the computer lab across campus, where students sit at long rows of tables to
access the Internet or to write the papers they had previously researched in the library, was
seeking a new location. In “a brilliant flash of the obvious,” Mr. Meador proposed combining
the two services and moving the computer lab into Bartle Library, creating an “information
commons.” Students could then access both library reference materials and the computers
that allow them to complete their work. Not only would the arrangement be more convenient
for students, but the university would also benefit from the operational efficiency of shared
staff and physical space. It was a new concept for the State University of New York (SUNY)
system to which Binghamton belongs.
But beyond simply relocating the computer lab, Mr. Meador envisioned a radical departure
from the outdated “solitary scholar” pedagogical model. He wanted a space that was dynamic
and creative enough to attract students and collaborative enough to enable them to work
together. “I’m establishing an atmosphere for collaboration, for experimentation, for creativity,”
says Mr. Meador. “I wanted to capture the spirit of contemporary, progressive thinking.”
When he saw Resolve workstations on a site visit to Emory University, Mr. Meador immediately
called home. “I found the furniture,” he said. This was the look he wanted: dynamic,
contemporary, collaborative. Nor would he forgo the accessories—the rolling screens and
canopies—despite budgetary pressure. “I wanted all that frou-frou,” he says. “I wanted that
futuristic image.”
Bedecked with frou-frou, Resolve workstations in clusters and zig-zags look modern and
edgy through the windows at Bartle Library. Ethospace workstations are strategically placed
in areas with low ceilings and against walls to maximize density in the space, while similar
finishes—red saddle work surfaces with dune and paprika screens and beige painted and
fabric tiles—blend the two systems.
z Binghamton University, Bartle Library Case Study / 3
Students have responded enthusiastically to the collaborative nature of the 120-degree
configurations, even removing the boundary screens to work more closely together. “We
showed the librarians how to replace them,” says Janel McCandless, account representative,
Sedgwick Business Interiors, a Herman Miller dealer. Students pull Caper chairs from other
workstations and drag in Celeste chairs from the library in order to gather around the
computer in a workstation.
But the proof of success is in the numbers. Mr. Meador has tracked a “dramatic increase
in usage figures since we installed the commons.” On a recent Labor Day weekend alone,
the library received 2,500 visitors. By the following October, the library had tallied its
highest attendance figures ever: 186,580 visitors. “Other libraries add coffee shops to lure
students,” says Mr. Meador. “We added Herman Miller furniture.”
Not only does this impress university administrators, but a vibrant space filled with the buzz
of students at work is an attractive spot to bring parents and tour groups as well.
Despite such heavy use throughout grueling, 24-hour days, the library’s only maintenance
issue has been the continual reinstalling of the boundary screens the students take down.
More than a year after installation “I haven’t had to replace a thing, not a chair or a work
surface or even the frou-frou,” says Mr. Meador. Even under such grueling conditions,
Herman Miller’s 12-year, 3-shift warranty will continue to cover the frou-frou and other
accoutrements for many years to come.
Meanwhile, the information commons concept is spreading throughout the SUNY system.
Two additional Binghamton libraries—the Science Library and the Downtown Center—now
have an information commons with the same design, layout, and furniture. And following
site visits to Binghamton, several other SUNY schools are considering constructing
information commons of their own.
