Description
How We Use Space Is Changing
An explosion of technology is changing the ways people work and use space. WiFi and cellphones have blurred the line of where people connect—outside, inside—it doesn’t matter. And, whether it’s charging a tablet or powering an outdoor event, bringing technology to outdoor spaces has become a challenge for facility managers in a variety of markets. Property owners want to maximize their real estate investment by increasing the value of their outdoor spaces while keeping their businesses running smoothly and their employees, tenants, and customers happy.
Outdoor Workspaces
Employers and employees expect more from their work spaces—increased productivity, empowerment, control, convenience, safety and efficiency are in high demand. As technology continues to evolve, workplaces are expanding beyond the four walls of an office. Employees are looking for new and alternative workspaces to inspire creativity, encourage collaboration, and promote social engagement, and this includes taking their work to outdoor spaces.
Outdoor workspaces can be attractive and functional yet flexible to accommodate future technologies and provide operational efficiencies. Outdoor workspaces can be designed to foster face-to-face interactions while supporting the demand for connectivity.
