Today Density released its first Workplace Benchmark, a look back on 2023.
Here are the headlines:
While office utilization increased by 29% from 2022, US offices remain wildly underused at 27% average peak utilization in 2023.
The new normal isn’t exactly buzzing yet: Nearly half of all spaces sat empty for more than 7 hours per day on average in 2023.
Meeting room squatters have become space designers’ enemy #1 . Nearly 50% of the time, meeting rooms are being used by one person – regardless of capacity – reflecting the need for acoustic privacy to take video calls.
U.S. work spaces are operating at only a fraction of their capacity, signaling a critical need for rethinking office space utilization.
Ready to drop the vanity metrics and understand how workspaces are really being used?
