Preparing for the Post-Pandemic Workplace

Across the United States and around the world, offices moved abruptly to remote working during March. Questions about remote work and how it will disrupt the office sector have been points of debate for many years, but the suddenness of the current shift has given these questions new importance. Tom Vecchione, Principal at Vocon and board member at the Center for an Urban Future and the New York City Landmarks Preservation Foundation, joins Sam Chandan to discuss the terms on which we will return to the office, the outlook for relatively dense co-working space, and practical steps to reduce density from the front door to the elevator to the cubicle floor.
