Yes, the 100/ft per person rule of thumb is just that - rule of thumb. If you start out with wide open space and leave it that way, you get a lot more flexibility. Once you start adding rooms and walls, it changes - not just because of the reduced flexibility, but also because of the actual space taken by walls & doors. We started with 4000 sq. ft., and even though we have a very open floor plan, quite a bit gets used by walls, room for storage, the kitchen, the cafe bar, bathrooms, etc.
We're doing everything we can to be flexible as well. All our desks will be on heavy duty, lockable wheels. They can be rolled together in various configurations or left alone. The walls of a few of the small (10x10 or 10x12) meeting rooms will be on rails so they can be opened and merged to form larger meeting rooms. This is a first for me, too. It's extra-challenging because it's not like there are a bunch of places out there we can point to and say "we're tyring to do something like this". This is a new model, which makes it all the more fun, IMO :) Julie Gomoll Austin > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
