Office Building Design: Strategies for a Reimagined Future Webinar

Recorded On: 07/14/2021

As hybrid work styles are adopted post-pandemic and office workers look for a more purposeful trip to the office, tomorrow’s workplace will be a place where health and wellness, sustainability, and social responsibility are the essential drivers. What impact will these evolving needs have on our buildings, our business districts, and our cities? In this webinar, experts will present design strategies that building owners and developers can leverage to attract new tenants to their buildings, from hospitality and wellness-focused outdoor areas to social zones to mobility-ready ground floor spaces. You’ll also hear key findings from Gensler’s 2021 City Pulse Survey, which explores how developers are responding to shifts in global migration, remote working, urban affordability and other issues impacting commercial office building development across the globe.
