Companies need the flexibility to meet employee and client needs in one space, explains Dari Shechter, VP of creative and design at Mindspace. Activity-based office design allows numerous choices for a variety of workplace activities. These could include:
-
Small, enclosed pod offices for solo work and phone calls
-
Meeting rooms equipped with technology for conference and video calls
-
Cozy rooms for small informal or impromptu group huddles
-
Large spaces for formal meetings or company events
-
Confidential meeting rooms with frosted glass windows
-
Lounge areas for relaxation and chatting in a coffee shop atmosphere
-
Lactation rooms
-
Library space for quiet work among others
-
Outdoor space for breaks and social events
-
Nap rooms
Health and safety guidelines such as social distancing, mask-wearing and frequent sanitization of surfaces must be adhered to, Shechter adds.
