The Hub: An attractive and efficient alternative to faculty private offices

The Hub at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is an innovative, flexible workspace model addressing the challenge of limited private offices for clinical faculty. By relinquishing private offices, faculty gain 24/7 access to diverse, reservable workspaces designed for individual work, collaboration, and rejuvenation. Andre Vite profiles the impressive package of amenities including telehealth-enabled workstations, fitness and wellness areas, sleep pods, day-use lockers, lactation rooms, showers, free snacks and beverages, cable TV, IT support, and concierge service. He charts the process of getting buy-in and rolling out this sustainable faculty workplace model, the effects on productivity, well-being, and interdisciplinary collaboration, and the organizational benefits realized to-date encompassing space utilization and cost-efficiency.
