> interesting outcomes We've noticed as one department plants their feet in our space, others start to conceder options for them. We have had local networking groups find us as a referral from our Economic Development Office. Although it will not impact us directly, City Hall is building a new office space in the next year and have included in their design minimizing the footprint per employee while designing more collaborative spaces within their "office" (open space working) Losing the doors and walls where appropriate. This is all a result of touring our space and interviewing our members. So, I guess one outcome would be, inspiration!
