Dive summary:
- Normally – meaning before the recession – contractors could look at hiring trends and expect that an increasing number of office workers at a company might signal an opportunity to build more space for them to work in.
- A study from CoreNet Global recently has found, however, that existing space can accommodate more workers because companies are shrinking each worker's space, down to an average 150 square feet now from 225 square feet in 2010, and more work is being done outside the standard office.
- The saving grace may by in an increased used of collaborative open space taken from former individual spaces and a backlash against that format and desire to restore the private space where each worker can concentrate.
