How Much Office Space Do You Need? The Average Working Space Per Employee

There is much debate online about the requirements for the average working space per employee. Some sources say employees should be allocated between 150 and 175 square feet, while others indicate that between 80 and 100 square feet is adequate. 

There are even several online calculators available that allow employers to work out how much office space they need, and you might have already used one of these but are still feeling unsure.

At Venture X San Antonio Northwest, we are experts in creating collaborative work environments that fit your and your team's needs. We believe there is no set-in-stone way in which to calculate how much space you need, but rather that decisions about your requirements should be based on your unique context. 

Debunking the '˜Average Workspace Per Employee' Debate

The fact is that square foot per employee calculations are simply outdated and inaccurate. This is because modern working spaces are changing, and the workforce has become more dynamic than ever. 

As more people embrace the hybrid work model, there has been a significant shift in how much time employees actually spend in their physical offices. There is simply no way of calculating how much space you need using an outdated equation that doesn't take into account the transformations currently happening in the office real estate world. 

Hybrid teams increasingly use coworking spaces in San Antonio Northwest because they are flexible enough to accommodate the needs of teams that are constantly growing and experiencing change.
