Monthly Update, September 2022

GBA/GIP Virtual Programming: The Hub – Innovative Shared Workspace - Pre, During and Post Pandemic for Clinical Faculty
Oct. 31 | Virtual 4:00-5:00 pm (ET)
At the start of 2019, the Anschutz Medical Campus had a space deficit of 245 offices in its accommodation of full-time clinical faculty. The previous model of providing clinical faculty members with dedicated individual or shared offices had proven to be unsustainable. A strategy of leasing space off campus for this purpose proved to be even less fiscally prudent. The Hub project has allowed CU Anschutz to provide a successfully shared work environment designed to foster collaboration, cross-disciplinary communication, and faculty wellbeing, while simultaneously increasing overall occupant capacity (FTE/GSF) within an existing facility. During this webinar, the speakers will discuss how they navigated the process involved in formulating, achieving buy-in, and ultimately actualizing the Hub solution. The Hub exemplifies a new, more flexible workplace modality more in tune with the zeitgeist of a 21st Century open and shared work-space culture. Register now!
