November Roundtable to explore future of office space
The UC Real Estate Center's monthly Roundtable program will look at how innovation will transform the spaces in which we work
The rapid advancement of new digital transformation strategies, agile work processes, and the fall of siloed space will have profound impact on the places that we build. Yet the fundamental force driving this change is the desire to enable people to work and live in high performance environments. Hence, we are experiencing the rising tension of worker expectations on the workplace. Today most companies, regardless of their sector, recognize this opportunity and are searching for answers.
