Top compromises were around loc ation and fewer bene f it s. 10 Commute time is not sho r tened depending on loc ation change. Afforda b l e housing is available across multiple loc atio n s .

While things like loc ation a n d pay may be compromised, other fac tors suc h a s culture and value should not be. Most of al l i t is impor t ant to design a wel l-balanced offic e that c an accommodate a variety of wor king spaces and amenities with a healthy mixture of independent foc us w or kspac es, areas that pr ov ide greater col laboration oppor tunities (v i rtual and face-to-face) and an environment t h at promotes employee soc ialization. 11 SOURCE S 1.

URBAN / SUBURBAN A LOOK AT TYPOLOGIES

SUBURBAN FABRIC Sparse subur ban programming sets a model for col lec tion of land. Most wil l acquire a c ampus and build out internal programs for employees-al lowing them to st ay within the wor k place longer. Other wise, employee s are often forced to travel outside of the wor kplace or c ampus to gain access to t hese a menit ies. 5


URBAN FABRIC Dense ur ban space al lows fo r minimal proximity to loc al amenities. Most business’ wil l accommodate for employees being in such clos e parameters. Employees do not have to veer too far from the office to gain access. Du e to lack of space in the wor k place, these programs are ex ter na l ly loc ated.
