OBA PROGRAM | Original Program Date: August 25, 2021

As most law firms shift to a more robust hybrid work environment, law firm leaders are engaged in the great space debate:  assessing and reassessing the size, location and configuration of office space. Most importantly, how can the office space be redesigned to grow efficient, productive and engaged hybrid teams, as well as deliver excellent client service?

The way we have been looking at use of space in our office environments must change.  Join us for the first session in a series of programs offering insight into creative design solutions for your office space.

Interior Designer and Strategic Advisor, Krista Sammons, will share strategic insight into how some law firms and companies are restructuring their physical office space to support the work that people are doing in person, and share innovative ideas on how to change your office space to enhance those elements people are missing from in-office work.

• What is the new purpose of the physical workplace?
• How you can create spaces that support equity, a feeling of belonging, and allow for seamless information sharing.
• How can reservation and sensor systems support the hybrid environment?
• How to innovatively address personal storage and personalization.
• Reimagine the function and design of the lobby.
• Plan offices to create efficiencies and flexibility.
