Accenture Federal Services: The Forge®

Washington, DC

Advancing federal missions through innovation and reinvention.

Accenture Federal Services helps the U.S. federal government solve complex challenges and achieve mission goals by modernizing technology, operations and services. Through mission-focused innovation, Accenture Federal Services empowers federal agencies to address evolving challenges and deliver improved outcomes.

The Forge® was purpose-built to serve as a home for federal reinvention. Here, agencies engage with emerging technologies that drive future solutions, increasing efficiency and enabling leaders to advance their missions with greater value. Designed as an immersive, collaborative environment, the space encourages meaningful dialogue, exploration and decision-making at the intersection of technology and mission expertise.

Guided by the vision of Accenture Federal Services, Dimensional Innovations provided technology-enabled storytelling and strategic content while engaging with Electrosonic to deliver updated audiovisual technology throughout The Forge®, ensuring the space supports seamless collaboration, impactful storytelling and flexible engagement.

A collaborative space designed to advance mission outcomes.

Accenture Federal Services created The Forge® to bring federal leaders together in a hands-on experience center where emerging technologies support mission reinvention. The space is designed to foster collaboration, enable rapid iteration on innovative solutions, and help agencies chart a path toward greater efficiency and mission-driven value.

Electrosonic has a vast history in designing innovative collaborative spaces that eases the process of communication such as Zoom’s London Experience Center, Chevron New Energies - Houston Lobby and Google St. John’s Terminal.

The result is The Forge®, a space that embodies collaboration, innovation and the future of federal agencies, giving leaders a place to explore emerging technologies, exchange ideas and reimagine how missions are delivered in an evolving digital landscape.

An immersive environment built to support bold ideas.

At the center of the project lies the Collab Hub, an immersive space encased by immersive floor-to-ceiling LED videowalls. This environment redefines collaboration, offering a bold, forward-thinking approach to working together and sharing ideas.

To create this, the biggest challenge is ensuring the space could handle the substantial power and heat demands of the LED walls without compromising comfort or performance. With technology wrapping the room from floor to ceiling, the team had to carefully balance infrastructure, thermal management and system reliability.

The solution emerged through a close partnership with DetaiLED® Solutions, guiding the project through its challenges and ultimately transforming a bold vision into a seamless, high-impact collaborative environment.

Electrosonic’s expertise in delivering complex, high-impact environments ensured the space not only meets technical demands but also showcases Accenture Federal's commitment to innovation and federal reinvention.
