Question #2: How do you accommodate the different ways occupants want to work?

OCCUPANT

Accommodating the different ways people want to work and satisfying why they come to the office will be increasingly important. It is therefore important to rebalance office spaces to offer a greater variety of settings that better match the nature of work today. Collaborate • Collaborative workspaces are designed to facilitate teamwork and group projects, often featuring open layouts, whiteboards, and shared tables. • A large conference room with video conferencing tools and movable furniture can accommodate dynamic team discussions and brainstorming sessions. Learn • Learning workspaces are environments tailored for training, workshops, and educational activities, offering resources like projectors, ergonomic seating, and access to materials. • A classroom-style room with desks, a projector, and soundproofing would be ideal for seminars and skill-building sessions. Concentrate • Concentration-focused workspaces provide a quiet, distraction-free area for individual tasks, typically featuring noise-canceling elements and personal desks. • Private cubicle with a comfortable chair, adjustable lighting, and noise- canceling headphones to help workers focus on complex tasks. Socialize • Social workspaces are designed for informal interactions and networking, often including lounge areas, coffee stations, and casual seating arrangements. • A common area with couches, a coffee bar, and game tables encourages casual conversations and relationship-building among colleagues.
