Please keep in mind that most corporations allocate 200-300sf/person Some indicators are leaning toward 175sf/person now Past discussions here in the coworking Google Group, if I recall correctly, have been about 90-100sf/person.
40 sf/person would be a new record, in my book, and I’ve been doing this as an architect and space operator for 8 years.
