Average office space per person
Knowing how much office space you are going to need is essential in helping you find the right office space.
How much office space you are going to need will vary depending on your individual office space requirements. Some businesses require meeting rooms, kitchen facilities, break out and reception areas – others just need desk space. But there are certain ‘rules of thumb’ that can help you in the early stages of planning an office move.
It is generally accepted that you should work on allocating approximately 125 sq ft per employee. This figure includes a proportion of meeting rooms & reception areas well as a desk, chair & the associated filing for each employee.
