Thanks Susan: Are 40 people 40 with desks or what I called "floaters?" Are they their 5 days a week?
We have some people that plan to be there only 1 or 2 days per week. -Mike Schinkel President; NewClarity LLC Organizer: Atlanta Web Entrepreneurs http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeschinkel http://mikeschinkel.com http://atlanta-web.org -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Evans Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2008 4:42 PM To: Coworking Subject: [Coworking] Re: Understanding Density Hi Mike, I believe there are some old threads if you do some digging on the sq. footage per person. One figure that is sticking in my mind is 150-200 sq. ft/person, but honestly I'm not sure how great that figure is. To let you know, we have 5000 square feet at Office Nomads in Seattle, and figure we can max out at about 40 folks in the space before things get really tight. That leaves us plenty of room to still have couches to crash on, a kitchen to brew the coffee in, etc...
