Businesses are beginning to design offices spaces that are increasing the amount of square footage per employee when shared work settings are taken into account.
That is one of the conclusions of a new report by architecture and design firm Ted Moudis Associates, which analyzed 2.4 million square feet of Ted Moudis’ office projects. Many companies are expanding the selection of alternative places to get work done such as cafe and kitchen areas, informal living room spaces and quiet zones, according to a 2017 Workplace Report.
“Five to 10 years ago it was all about how many people can I get in this space,” said Jamie Feuerborn, associate director of workplace at Ted Moudis. “Now some of that efficiency is a given, and everyone from the top level executive down is focused on the employee experience.”
