Rethinking Office Space

Rethinking Office Space

 It’s a new day for the office space as companies emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and a new normal emerges.

University of Wisconsin-Stout alum Caitlin Wolff, of St. Paul, a social spaces specialist with the global furniture company Haworth, sees it as an opportunity for companies to create collaborative, yet flexible spaces for employees.

Wolff spoke virtually recently as part of the School of Art and Design Speaker Series.

Over the past 18 months, people have learned they can work from home but miss the office, Wolff said.

“When we are with other human beings we are engaged differently,” said Wolff, a 2010 Bachelor of Fine Arts interior design graduate. “We all know we can work from home, and home offices have become more accepted.”

For the immediate future, Wolff believes office spaces should be flexible with less density. “Our bubbles are different than they were before,” she said.
