Are Coworking Offices a Thing of The Past? The Perfect Alternative

The Perfect Small Office Option.

The end of 2019 saw the emergence of coworking spaces across the country and New York’s Capital Region. Many of these spaces emerged in downtown areas where re-imagined vacant spaces and dense clusters of new-age millennial workers converged. Young, motivated entrepreneurs wanted collaborative work spaces with shared offices and common areas to fuel their imagination and productivity. While the jury is still out on what will be the “new normal” for workplaces, there is no doubt that some businesses who were previously operating in coworking spaces will be looking for an alternative.

Some of the questions many in coworking spaces will have to answer are: 

• • How many people will be comfortable sharing a desk with a complete stranger?
  • Will people want to rely upon the hygiene practices of others in their shared office space?
  • How consistent will cleaning practices be to ensure your workspace was disinfected after the previous use?

While much is unknown about the months and years ahead in terms of the office work environment, some things are certain:

• • Employees and clients will want to feel safe in their surroundings.
  • Businesses will place a premium on providing their employees and clients with a private, controlled environment.
  • People will shun unnecessary interaction with other people to limit the transmission of disease.
