Thanks for the feedback Tony. We are ramping up actually and I am trying to solution things that come up when I'm talking about the space. I think the value will come with privacy which is also why I think closed top offices, meeting rooms and phone areas will be critical.
Our space is blank right now and I have 4600 sq.ft so balance of community versus work /focused work areas will be important. I don't know how to determine the ratio.
