FREESPACE ASSISTING CARDIFF UNIVERSITY STUDY
ON WORKPLACE TRENDS Freespace, a workplace technology solution that anonymously captures space usage in offi ces worldwide, is assisting Cardiff University with a scientifi c study on building occupancy patterns at the Open Space Network building in Warminster.
The fi ndings from the year- long research will support the University’s academic studies into offi ce space management and
The collaboration between Cardiff University and Open Space Network is
focussed on providing new insight into employee choices around hybrid working and the offi ce environment post-COVID-19. By understanding patterns of space use and human interactions in the offi ce environment, the University is developing critical knowledge to balance measurements of the risk certain design and layouts have on virus or other transmission risks against social benefi t and employee mental well-being. They will create best practice templates for
UK Government and other offi ce occupiers.
Freespace’s workplace sensors are being used by Cardiff University to help create a long-term healthy working environment for the 20+ occupants of the building. Combined with other smart access and interaction technologies they will provide a unique picture of future workspace requirements. When the scientifi c study is complete in October 2021, the University will start drawing conclusions based on the evidence from Freespace’s anonymous occupancy data.
The study will deliver a long-term, scientifi cally monitored example of how people interact within a workplace. This will enable Cardiff University to develop a robust understanding of occupancy patterns and trends, and help to deliver fi ndings that will assist with future workplace decisions.
