70-100 s/ft *including* common areas is pretty common. Our total space is currently ~8000 s/ft, and we have (I think!) 85 workstations. This doesn't include a number of communal work tables (almost 20 more spots to work), couches (6-8 more spots to work), meeting rooms and our kitchen's cafe tables.
Our 2nd floor is closer to the 80 per person mark and it's pretty well optimized - cozy without being cramped. Our 1st floor is just over the 100 per person mark since it's less than a year old and we're still growing and optimizing it, but it's evolving quickly in the same direction. Density in a coworking space is a different effect from density in a typical corporate office cube for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the value/importance of flexibility and choice in where people work, and the fact that someone might not work in the same exact location for the entire day. -Alex On Monday, April 8, 2013 5:02:06 PM UTC-4, Judy Schramm wrote: > > The stats I've seen say typical coworking spaces offer 75 sq ft.
