Noel Maxam, co-founder and CEO of Emagispace, recently wrote an article in Construction Executive discussing how modular construction can have an unprecedented impact in helping to speed up recovery efforts in the wake of natural disasters.
“Modular construction allows disaster relief and nonprofit organizations to rethink how they can play a part and make an impact during times of crisis. With the help of tools such as a screwdriver or cordless drill, anyone with a little construction knowledge can offer support and construct walls, privacy areas for families, temporary and permanent shelters without waiting for the Army Corps of Engineers or other skilled professionals, which can sometimes take weeks or even months.”

Noel Maxam, co-founder and CEO of Emagispace, contributed an article in Construction Today detailing how modular construction can aid natural disaster relief. Noel discusses how the use of innovative building block technology can help rebuild communities faster and more cost-effectively than traditional purpose-built structures.
“Imagine a solution that allowed disaster relief teams to quickly construct shelters virtually anywhere in the world with pop-up medical treatment centers, and privacy walls for victims impacted by tragedy. If you needed desks, checkpoints, privacy for medical treatment or interior walls that are movable and reconfigurable, on-demand modular construction would be the clear answer: One product meeting the needs of many, instead of many products meeting the needs of too few.”

People believe that modular design could be the future of interior buildouts and tenant improvements. Emagispace is a Los Angeles-based modular design company that launched a modular building block system. Emagiblocks allows for personal customization and design. The new Emagiblocks use modular panels and very few tools are then required for the moveable walls. It takes the company a fraction of the time to complete a build out with Emagiblocks.
Emagiblocks are packed and shipped in a 10-by-10 flat package and can fit in almost any trunk and closet. After Noel Maxam, CEO and founder, saw the waste of theatre sets getting torn down and broken after each set, he saw a need for something new. Emagiblocks are a sustainable design and have many different uses.
Sony and Revlon are some of Emagispace’s current customers. Emagispace recently received $4.2 million in Series A funding. With that money, the company will continue to grow and make a larger product line.

CEO and founder of Emagispace, Noel Maxam, recently steered away from the production world to launch a modular wall system company. Maxam teamed up with an MIT engineer to produce a sustainable design that met his measurements and durability tests. His goal was to create temporary walls, and something that is adaptable and has the ability to change the look with interchangeable “skins.”
The module fiberboard panels are made of sawdust, recycled newspaper, wood chips, and featherweight ABS plastic for better connections to interlock the blocks. . These modular wall systems are currently being used in convention halls, office spaces, living spaces, college theatres, tradeshow displays and so much more.

The Gazette featured Emagispace in an article written about their set up, what went into getting where they are today, and their plans for the future. Clark and Noel Maxam have worked together to create a sustainable design, adaptable products, and a modular wall system.
"I had to build a bar for a set and couldn't afford to do that on the budget we had, so I set the scene in the basement of a bar and used a stack of empty beer boxes to reflect that," Noel Maxam said. "I didn't know if then, but it was a germ of an idea. Much later, I started looking at the idea of putting up sets myself and thought 'why not have building blocks for adults?'" Maxam has been working on this idea for the past 25 years. Once he had the design, Maxam and a former UCCS colleague figured out how to create the connections between the panels using their fiberboards to make a stable and durable, temporary wall component.
Clark found Little Colorado, a Denver manufacturing company that agreed to manufacture the wood panels. A company in Los Angeles makes the plastic interconnecting components and together they have a working building block system! The company officially took off in 2013 when the Maxam brothers got the patent for their idea. It has taken Noel a while to get where he is today, but his hard worked has paid off.

Sony’s Screen Gems started using smaller and cheaper cameras to make bigger movies. Sony just announced that its new horror film “Cadaver” will be shot with a Sony s7 II that costs $3,000. Sony claims that the S7 camera is perfect because “it allows us opportunities we might not otherwise get.”
Screen Gems decided to go eco-friendly on their cadaver. They now use Emagispace’s eco-friendly, sustainable design building block system to construct their sets. However, the environmental consciousness was not the only reason they decided to use Emagispace. “Emagispace allowed us to build 20-foot set walls in half the time of traditional lumber-based sets, and then save the building blocks for future productions,” said Gainor. “So in essence, the walls went up in half the time and cut waste by about 50%. It was a win-win.”
Many companies are starting to find ways to make their products and productions more efficient. Emagispace offers a lot for sustainable, adaptable and reusable interior design builds and can create temporary walls in a short amount of time.

Most people play with building blocks as a child, but usually outgrow them quickly. Noel Maxam, CEO and founder of Emagispace, did not outgrow building blocks. In fact, he created a company that evolves around the building block system. He created an interior modular wall system company that uses building blocks to take the ease and stress off building that perfect interior design. Techcrunch recently interviewed Maxam on the recent funding his company received.
Maxam was producing soap operas at a film school when the idea came to him. He was frustrated with the difficult process of moving and building large and irregular sets. He then moved forward with his idea and received a patent. After that Maxam said, “Things just snowballed.” Right now, Sony and Maker Studios are using his Emagiblock system for their film sets. But that is not the only use of them: they can also be used for retail shops, trade show displays, office partitions, and so much more.
Emagispace has been in use by some companies for about two years. The price is $15.50 per square foot, but Maxam says they do make deals based on volume. They currently have 12 full-time employees, with representatives in states all over the United States. There are two different offerings of the Emagiblocks because some people do want to build out and use their own decorations.

Colorado Springs Gazette
By Wayne Heilman
January 26, 2015
Clark and Noel Maxam's Emagispace is anything but an overnight success.
Noel Maxam, a longtime television soap opera producer in Los Angeles, came up with the idea for temporary walls used in theatrical, television and movie productions while he was a student at Carnegie Mellon University and built his first prototype in 1989.
"I had to build a bar for a set and couldn't afford to do that on the budget we had, so I set the scene in the basement of a bar and used a stack of empty beer boxes to reflect that," Noel Maxam said. "I didn't know if then, but it was a germ of an idea. Much later, I started looking at the idea of putting up sets myself and thought 'why not have building blocks for adults?'"
During the next nearly 25 years, he experimented with using aluminum, plastic and wood and had 35 engineering drawings made of the product until he came up with a design that worked - medium-density quarter-inch fiber board made from sawmill waste and interconnecting plastic blocks that are screwed into the fiberboard. The result was a lightweight wall that could be assembled and taken apart quickly, and that didn't require much storage space when disassembled.
Colorado College's Theater and Dance Department became Emagispace's first customer after Paul Martin, the department's technical director, saw a prototype in March and bought three wall sections in August after the company completed its first production run. The college is using the temporary walls to display art in the IDEA (InterDisciplinary Experimental Arts) Space, a gallery, performance and events venue in the Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center.
"I like the versatility. You can use them as wall and can install doors and windows quickly. It frees up time for me since a lot of departments at the college look for theatrical flats (large sheets of plywood) to display art," said Martin, who now is a technical consultant to Emagispace. "I can give these to a student to install on their own. Most of the time in the theater world, you spend 80 percent of your time building the set and the rest making it pretty. Now we can spend more time on making it pretty."
Noel Maxam's brother Clark, who manages the company from his Larkspur home, said the only tool needed to assemble the walls is an electric screwdriver, and assembly of a 10-foot-by-10-foot wall takes about 30 minutes. When taken apart, the walls take up a 3½-foot by 4-foot by 9-inch space. He said the speed of assembly and small storage footprint mean the wall components also can be used for temporary office space such as co-working venues, in retail stores and perhaps even in the rental storage unit industry for temporary shelving.
"It has taken a while to get the right design, but once I did I got my brother on board and because he really understands business, finance and serving more than just one market, we started to make it a business," Noel Maxam said.
Clark Maxam, a former professor of entrepreneurial finance at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, teamed with former UCCS colleague Michael Larson and his Mind Rocket product development company to hone in on a workable design. It didn't hurt that Clark also had dabbled in the construction industry and had built more than a few walls, though usually with drywall panels nailed to wood studs.
"Michael had the design, engineering and prototyping that we needed, and over the course of a year to a year and a half, we honed in on how to do the connections (between the panels) and use the medium-density fiberboard to make a stable wall component," Clark Maxam said.
The brothers formed Emagispace in Larkspur in mid-2013 and immediately got a patent for the temporary wall design. They spent the next year in research and development with prototypes to make sure the product could be easily manufactured.
"We had three or four versions and were still refining our design at the very end. It is a simple idea, but it took a lot of time, though, engineering and design to get the product to where it is today," Clark Maxam said. "We ended up spending between the low- and midsix figures to get to this stage on research and development, patents and production tooling."
Clark Maxam found Little Colorado, a Denver manufacturer of children's toys, to manufacture the wood panels and a Los Angeles company to make the interconnecting plastic components, which are shipped to Larkspur and assembled as the company gets orders.
A 10-foot-by-10-foot section of Emagispace walls sells for about $1,500. For more information, go to www.emagi space.com.

Emagispace®, the startup interior construction and design innovator, today announced the appointment of David Kirshenbaum to CEO as part of a planned leadership transition that moves Noel Maxam, co-founder and former CEO, to the board. The transition follows the company’s successful Series B funding round, which raised Emagispace’s total financing to over $9 million in under two years. Kirshenbaum will lead Emagispace’s international expansion and will extend the company’s presence in fast-growing segments like commercial office and agile retail.
According to Fast Company, which named Emagispace among the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in 2018, the company’s approach has made designing interior spaces flexible, cost efficient, and sustainable, which has drawn the attention of commercial office, commercial retailers, concert venue owners, set designers, and even disaster relief organizers looking to build temporary shelters.
“The demand for Emagispace’s EmagiKit solutions, for which the building blocks are the backbone, is growing exponentially, and we have to scale organizationally to stay ahead of demand in this and other key markets,” said Noel and Clark Maxam (Co-Founders). “David has the fire in his belly to execute the vision that the board has for the future of Emagispace, and that’s why we know he’s the right person for the job.”
The idea for Emagispace came to Noel in his other career as a multi-Emmy-award winning director, writer and producer, where he grew frustrated with the expense, complexity, storage needs, and waste associated with building and tearing down sets. Noel saw first-hand the need for this innovative, flexible, and sustainable building system.

Previously, he served as COO and then President of LR Development Company, a Chicago-based developer focused on affordable, adaptive re-use and high-end residential developments. As part of the senior management team, LR grew ten-fold over the course of five years prior to a sale of the company to the Related Companies in 2000.
“This position is truly the embodiment of my 30+ years of experience in the real estate industry,” said Kirshenbaum. “I believe Emagispace is the future of construction and design and is going to shape the way several industries evolve – leading this company forward is an opportunity I could not pass up. The need for flexible EmagiBlock technology in the co-working, retail, event marketing, and entertainment spaces is clear. We see economies around the world moving toward modularization sustainability and heightened flexibility, and Emagispace is ready to become a significant player in these evolving markets.”
“Throughout his career, David has developed strong relationships with investors and entrepreneurs. He is not scared to take calculated risks and knows how to maximize a business’s potential,” said Maxam. “Emagispace has expanded personnel by 70 percent in 2018, and one of Kirshenbaum’s first initiatives will be to create a culture of growth and mentorship within the organization to continue to retain and recruit the best talent.”
“When looking for a CEO to lead Emagispace into our next stage of business maturation, we wanted to ensure we found the right leader who had a proven track record of success,” said co-founder Clark Maxam. “David’s vision to create a culture of imagination, teamwork, and mentorship to our employees is exactly what we need to continue our significant arc of growth in the near future.”
Kirshenbaum holds a bachelor’s degree from Emory University, a juris doctorate from Northwestern University School of Law, and a master’s of business administration from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management. David has been an adjunct professor at Northwestern Law and is a guest lecturer at colleges, business schools, and law schools around the country. He is an active member of the International Council of Shopping Centers, Industrial Asset Management Council, ACG, Chicago Real Estate Council (where he is a board member) and Surplus Property Roundtable.

Emagispace®, a building block technology company with a physical product that revolutionizes the construction of interior spaces in which people live, work and play, has raised $5.06M in its Series B funding round led by Alpha Edison.
The funding underscores the momentum Emagispace achieved in 2017, a year that closed with key additions to the executive team, exciting product innovation, solid partnerships and solid revenue growth.
In its first year, Emagispace re-imagined the way organizations look at interior construction by offering a versatile, reusable building platform that can be constructed – and infinitely reconfigured and re-purposed – at a fraction of the time, effort and cost of traditional construction. The company was even named among the Top 10 World’s Most Innovative Companies in Live Events for 2018 by Fast Company.
“The Emagispace platform was conceptualized around the idea that building elegant, versatile interior space doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag,” said Noel Maxam, co-founder and CEO of Emagispace. “The market potential for our products is significant, and this Series B investment from our partners including Alpha Edison, US News, Fischer Capital Investments, March Capital Partners and Jeremy Zimmer, CEO of UTA further validates the ingenuity of our building block technology and need to evolve beyond traditional stick-frame construction.”
The funding will allow Emagispace to bolster its current EmagiKit™ offerings, which allow unparalleled design flexibility by enabling fast, easy, non-disruptive assembly of products in the workspace. The first expansion will focus on the company’s Privacy Pod Plus, leveraging patented EmagiBlock technology that delivers reliable performance at a fraction of the cost of most phone booths on the market today.
The product will include all the same features as the company’s traditional Privacy Pod, but will also feature:
- Full insulation and sealed, double-paned door with soft closed hinges for ultimate sound resistance
- Dimmable light switch with indirect LED lighting to fight fatigue
- Adjustable work desk for personal comfort
“Thanks to this latest round of funding, we’ll be able to offer high-performance, cost-effective upgrade on the personal privacy solution that our customers already love,” said Maxam. “We worked closely with industry-leading companies and top dealers around the country to develop this exciting update that will further empower employees to be more productive and satisfied in the workplace.”

(COLORADO SPRINGS) – Emagispace®, a building block technology company with a physical product that revolutionizes the construction of interior spaces in which people live, work and play, recently teamed up with Creative Graphics Services (CGS) to provide 563 linear feet of wall, nearly 2 football fields, in 1.5 days for events leading up to this past weekend’s Big Game.
“It is an honor to have partnered with CGS on creating an exciting atmosphere and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for attendees at the Big Game’s interactive theme park,” said Noel Maxam, founder and CEO of Emagispace. “We are committed to creating versatile, re-usable and long-lasting products, which is why partnering with CGS, who has been part of this event for 29 years, was a great fit. We hope to continue this partnership for years to come.”
Emagispace’s interlocking building blocks, called EmagiBlocks®, were installed in the Minneapolis Convention Center as part of the Big Game’s interactive experience, just blocks from U.S. Bank Stadium where the Eagles took home this year’s championship trophy. The barrier walls featured the game’s logo adhered by CGS that were seen by more than 70,000 in attendance.
“CGS was charged with locating a solution that provides public space separation with a higher level of structural integrity than traditional systems,” said Jim Niner, vice president at CGS. “The innovative and flexible technology engineered by Emagispace is revolutionizing interior construction while providing the CGS team a blank canvas for high impact branded graphics. We look forward to expanding our use of the Emagiblock system!”
For the game, Emagiblocks were prebuilt in order to meet installation time and labor constraints. While sporting event, tradeshow and concert venues often face challenges of creating well-designed “eye popping” spaces that attract attention, are cost-effective, and are simple to ship and assemble, Emagispace offers a solution that allows its products to adapt to customer needs and can be reconfigured and repurposed for years to come.

(COLORADO SPRINGS) – Emagispace®, a building block technology company with a physical product that revolutionizes the construction of interior spaces in which people live, work and play, recently partnered with Screen Gems to provide EmagiBlocks® as set backdrops for the movie, Proud Mary.
“At Emagispace, we have a passion for providing our customers with innovative solutions, and with Screen Gems, given its focus on a greener world, it makes sense they chose EmagiBlocks on their Proud Mary set,” said Noel Maxam, founder and CEO of Emagispace. “Creating sustainable products is at the top of our priority list, and production teams, like Screen Gems, realize the importance for the film industry to invest in re-useable solutions.”
With Emagiblocks, Screen Gems built 20-foot set walls for the Proud Mary scenes of Benny’s office and Mary’s apartment. Modular EmagiBlocks eliminate waste by enabling the creation and re-creation of virtually anything, and have been re-used on several film and TV sets.
“Emagispace is a fantastic partner. Not only are they providing a less disruptive and more cost-effective solution to traditional set builds, the blocks can be easily reconfigured and repurposed from set to set,” said Glenn Gainor, head of physical production, Screen Gems. Their mission to create eco-friendly products and cut back landfill waste is something we strongly believe in as part of our environmental initiative.”
