For those who may have missed the ALA National Virtual Conference last month, our Business Partner IA Interior Architects will present their popular session “Strategies for Returning to the Office” exclusively to ALANYC with an extended Q&A.

Gain an understanding of how law firms can safely and efficiently return to work in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact to space design and business practices. This session will focus on long- and short-term ideas. Options related to design and messaging solutions will be discussed. Both attorney space and administrative space will be considered. You will learn what others have been doing and how those relate to the guidance offered by relevant governmental agencies.

Objectives:

• Recognize how the COVID-19 pandemic could affect the design of space in both the short- and long-term.
• Discuss design and messaging solutions to address returning to the office.
• Demonstrate tools that will help evaluate the workspace relative to social distancing.
• Discuss long-term ideas that could address the current situation and yield other benefits in the future.

IA Interior Architects are a Penn Station level Business Partner of ALANYC.
