The Office Environment Is Changing

Office space is

shrinking

because of costs.

Hoteling and

open floor plans

are the norm for

new spaces.

Candidates

expectations include

the office as part of

their job criteria.

The office has to be

cool, open and social –

while still being an office.

The Campus Is Changing as Well

Reduced budgets

require better

space utilization

Repurposed spaces

for external events

and community

activities

Realigned expectations

as campus facilities and

environment impact

student matriculation

Redesigned areas

must be open and

configurable for

social activities and

learning
