and the scope of their responsibilities monumentally altered. Working remotely no longer was just a company benefit offered to those fortunate enough to work for organizations who embraced the concept, instead it became an absolute requirement overnight and facility managers had to turn on a dime in order to fully implement and support the ‘new normal’.

In our upcoming event, we will look at one such company who moved into a brand new 200 employee facility on March 15, 2020, only to vacate it five days later—all now working from home. What to do with the new structure? Fortunately, flexibility (for various business reasons) was a key component of the design concept and that contingency enabled the team to quickly re-purpose the facility into a collaboration center; a space for employees to use for meetings, special gatherings, and quiet in dedicated workspaces. The organization now operates within a hybrid model with employees working from home while making use of the collaboration center when the need arises. The event will include a tour of the new facility and a review of those flexible features that facilitated the transition with little to no additional costs.
