Colleges and universities are redesigning office footprints to match hybrid and flexible work patterns, creating shared desks, collaboration hubs and reconfigured meeting spaces. Institutions report differing approaches — some creating hoteling systems and others building dedicated collaboration studios — while treating the shift as an iterative experiment. Mike Moss of the Society for College and University Planning said campuses are balancing cultural shifts, union considerations and budget impacts as they repurpose space. Facilities teams are measuring usage, adjusting lease strategies and factoring hybrid design into deferred‑maintenance priorities. Clarification: "Hybrid work" refers to schedules that mix on‑campus and remote days for administrative and professional staff, not changes to faculty instructional responsibilities.
