Workplace Organization
Neighborhoods
A dedicated place for teams, departments or other groups of employees that typically work closely together. Shared spaces create some visual & acoustic separation between neighborhoods.
Workstations can be unassigned (free address) or assigned.
Spaces inside a neighborhood are dedicated to a team - great for long term project display.
Spaces outside a neighborhood are shared with other teams - great for quick meetings or to use shared technology or resources.
The result of this Master Plan Study was the development of various scenarios exploring the amount of space dedicated per employee, the ratio of assigned to flex seats for full time in person employees verses flexible, partially remote employees, the expansion of amenities, as well as the decision to renovate their existing building or move their headquarters.
