A food manufacturer was exploring opportunities to shed space at 42K sq. ft. HQ to respond to a cost-savings mandate from their CFO.
VergeSense Strategic Advisory Services conducted a six month usage study which revealed a 5% capacity usage rate, with peaks of 25% capacity usage.
Study results revealed that they could reduce their HQ operating footprint by 75%.
Spaces werenʼt being used as intended, and the workplace team felt a design change was needed to increase efficiency. VergeSense Strategic Advisory Services analysis revealed space types were being used equally because employees needed privacy.
The team executed on three design decisions to enhance collaboration, which drastically improved usage of the existing footprint.
VergeSense Strategic Advisory Services conducted a 90-day usage study of a satellite office, which revealed extremely low usage rates: an average person count of two and a peak person count of 17.
The company eliminated the underutilized location and avoided a costly lease renewal. They also created a cost-analysis model for evaluating other satellite offices to identify cost savings opportunities.
