Looking back at 2020, the pandemic has impacted how we work, how we learn, and how we connect. As the most significant historical shift continues to take shape, we are witnessing old businesses being forced to adapt to the “new normal” and new businesses emerge. Remote work is on everyone’s minds today. The trends that are currently in place today, will they continue in the future? And if they do, what will it look like? How will it affect our urban and rural communities retrospectively. The opportunity that lays before us, will impact how communities will retain, expand and attract businesses and jobs in the future.

The rate in which we have had to adapt, innovate, and recreate our working environments and hiring practices, has generated new trends that will have great impact on the future of how we work.  In this hour and a half session, we will examine the current state of commercial real estate and what trends will emerge in the new year. We will also explore innovative ventilation adaptations that can support healthy working conditions in buildings lacking efficient fresh airflow.
