Manhattan, NY JRM Construction Management has completed Quorum by Convene, a meeting and event space located at 1221 Avenue of the Americas. Quorum by Convene serves as the signature conference space for White & Case and is managed by hospitality company Convene, offering fully produced and managed event experiences. This project was in collaboration with Gardiner & Theobald, Technology Architecture Design, architect Gensler, and engineer Robert Derector Associates.
Quorum by Convene stands out with its Terrazzo flooring, baswaphon ceilings, and curving millwork. The space is further enhanced with a grand video wall, a custom veneered ceiling with an intricate 1500-point suspension system, and SAFTIFIRST fire-rated glass, showcasing the detail and craftsmanship from JRM Construction Management’s work.
Designed to cater to a diverse range of events, Quorum by Convene has a capacity of up to 630 people.

The reception area, with a sculptured desk adaptable for each event host, leads into two lit gallery spaces. Premium digital coat check services and extensive restroom facilities further enhance the guest experience.
The heart of Quorum by Convene is the grand hall, located in the north-facing gallery. This space features an undulating feature wall and a design that creates the illusion of a skylight, surrounded by columns reminiscent of classical architecture. Equipped with advanced AV technology and continuous LED screens, the grand hall is an immersive space for up to 364 attendees. The space is equipped with a 270-degree digital screen and digital signage, ensuring a seamless event experience.
