Traditional offices are getting a major redesign since the pandemic.
“Offices are investing in a lot of new technology,” Shaffer said. With the rate of people hopping on video calls these days, he said he’s been noticing employers putting in larger screens, high-resolution cameras and microphones to make it feel like the other person is right in the room.
Krenek said she’s seeing more of a focus on touchless technology, like sinks and soaps dispensers, voice-activation sensors and antimicrobial buttons. All of those things existed before, but are much more commonly used right now, she said. Mini markets with free food and drinks, gyms, bars for happy hour and food truck parties in the parking lot … the list goes on and on. Shaffer said he’s even seeing some offices put in Amazon lockers so you can get deliveries directly to the office. “You can literally order something, and two hours later it’s in the locker,” he said.
