>> Why not look to the existing community to see what it's makeup is, and build your model from that? Thanks for the reply, but I already have that info. What I don't have is an understanding of a workable density; IOW, how many members can a given sqft support? For example, if we have a 4000 sqft facility and we devote 2500 sqft to floater space how many floaters can we generally accomdate in that 2500 sqft? I'm hoping to learn from what others have experienced to be workable metrics.

We are looking for a warehouse-style space and we are planning to have desks for "floaters" (people w/access but no assign space) and "deskers" (people w/an assigned desk.) We may also have "cubers" (people w/an assigned cube) and even "roomers" (people w/an assigned room.) (BTW, I just made those role names up as I wrote this, LOL!) Also, our goal will be to create a community where pretty much everyone knows and respects everyone else in the space as much as that is possible, but we are starting with a large group of people that already know and respect each other. And if possible we'd like to have some sort of community vetting process for members to avoid the freaky-sleeper types that Tara has experienced although we might not be able to pull off a vetting process on day one when we first need to reach profitability. Anyway, we are trying to figure out what kind of density we can handle with our floaters on a per square foot basis, or maybe we should do it on a per desk basis? Can anyone speak to this?
