Research workplace: Data-driven space planning balances flexibility with space utilization

The research workplace has experienced many of the same work model changes as other industries, with additional complexity from the need to support constantly rotating research programs and diverse stakeholder groups. Attend this session to see the data collected on how scientific work and space use patterns have changed post-pandemic, facility/program gaps that have emerged, the features now critical for workplace engagement, and operational adjustments that must be made. They demonstrate data collection methods including IoT sensors and time lapse video to calculate occupancy rates, and how post-occupancy evaluations are being used to inform future space plans and the occupant experience.
