The post-corona office – what does it look like?

Working from home is now the new norm – but what does the post-corona office setup look like if and when you return?

Here are a few design changes you might expect to see:

• Automatic doors – so that you don’t have to touch the handles

• Voice elevator controls – you’ll tell the elevator which floor you want to go to

• Wider corridors with one-way foot traffic – to comply with social distancing rules

• Well-spaced desks with dividers – instead of open floor plans

• Videoconferencing – even within the office to avoid the conference room

• Fewer chairs in common areas such as meeting rooms and kitchens
