Rethinking Office Walls: The Benefits of the Volo Wall System by Fellowes
When it comes to designing or renovating a modern workspace, flexibility, speed, and long-term adaptability matter more than ever. That’s where modular wall systems like the Fellowes Volo Wall System come in — offering a smart, sustainable alternative to traditional drywall construction.
What Is the Volo Wall System?
The Volo Wall System is a high-performance architectural wall solution designed to provide visual appeal, acoustic privacy, and long-term adaptability. Its modular nature means walls can be installed faster, reconfigured easily, and customized to meet both functional and aesthetic goals.
Unlike traditional drywall, which involves framing, taping, mudding, sanding, and painting — often over weeks — Volo walls are pre-finished, movable, and clean to install, reducing disruption and waste.
Key Benefits vs. Traditional Construction
1. Speed of Installation
One of the biggest advantages of Volo walls is time. In most cases, installation takes a fraction of the time compared to standard drywall. That means faster project completion, quicker move-ins, and less downtime for your team.
2. Flexibility & Reconfiguration
As businesses grow or change, so do their spatial needs. Volo walls can be reconfigured or relocated without demolition, making them a cost-effective, future-proof solution.
3. Sustainability & Reduced Waste
Drywall construction is notoriously wasteful — generating debris, dust, and requiring repainting over time. Volo walls produce minimal waste, and many components are recyclable or reusable.
4. Acoustic Performance
Volo walls are designed with integrated acoustic solutions, helping to maintain speech privacy and reduce noise in open-plan environments.
5. Aesthetics & Customization
With a wide variety of finishes, glass options, and hardware, the Volo system can be tailored to match your brand identity and design goals.
Real-World Applications: S&B James Construction & Lifeline
S&B James Construction – A Modern Build-Out
When S&B James Construction expanded into a new office space, they needed a solution that balanced professional polish with future flexibility. We implemented the Volo wall system to create private offices and meeting spaces that could evolve as the team grows. The fast install process helped meet tight timelines, and the clean lines and high-end finishes elevated the space instantly.
Lifeline – Preserving History with Modern Function
In downtown Jacksonville, we faced a unique challenge: modernizing a historic building for Lifeline without compromising its architectural character. The Volo wall system was the perfect solution — allowing us to define offices and collaboration areas without altering the historic shell of the building. The result is a dynamic, functional interior that respects the past while supporting present-day workstyles.

If you’re looking for a smarter, more sustainable alternative to traditional office construction, the Fellowes Volo Wall System is worth a serious look.
