As your employees&#8217; needs change, the workspaces they use will need to change. It&#8217;s also worthwhile to <a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/our-platform\/space-planning-software\/\">reevaluate space allocation<\/a> if you haven&#8217;t done so in a few years \u2014 the types of workspaces present are likely outdated or, at the very least, due for a few upgrades. It&#8217;s an excellent time to ask yourself if there&#8217;s enough available breakout space.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Offices have informally utilized breakout spaces for decades. Today, they&#8217;ve risen from convenience to necessity based on their role in agile workplaces. Not only do you need to provide breakout spaces, but you must ensure these areas support various types of work. It&#8217;s time to reevaluate the role breakout spaces play in your office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"none\">Defining breakout spaces<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">What is breakout space? The simplest definition is any space without a predetermined purpose. It could be a table with three or four chairs or as complex as an experiential space employees can flex in and out of.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Breakout spaces are a quick fix to an immediate need. A conference ends, but three people need to get together to discuss a subtask. Instead of crowding around someone&#8217;s desk, they &#8220;break out&#8221; into a space for 15 to 20 minutes. An employee has two meetings on the fourth floor, with a 30-minute break between them. Instead of returning to their office on the first floor, they flex into a breakout space to prep between meetings.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2239\" src=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/breakout-spaces.webp\" alt=\"Breakout spaces are usually occupied for 30-45 minutes and able to adapt to the needs of whoever occupies them.\" width=\"1500\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/breakout-spaces.webp 1500w, https:\/\/eptura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/breakout-spaces-300x72.webp 300w, https:\/\/eptura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/breakout-spaces-1024x246.webp 1024w, https:\/\/eptura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/breakout-spaces-768x185.webp 768w, https:\/\/eptura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/breakout-spaces-1200x289.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW132336709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW132336709 BCX0\">Breakout spaces are the ultimate representation of agility in a fast-paced workplace. <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW132336709 BCX0\">They&#8217;re<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW132336709 BCX0\"> usually occupied for around 30 to 45 minutes, and their unstructured nature turns them into the ideal space for whoever occupies them.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW132336709 BCX0\"><span class=\"SCXW132336709 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span><br class=\"SCXW132336709 BCX0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"none\">Give employees diverse breakout spaces<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Breakout spaces themselves don&#8217;t generally follow a defined purpose.

Likewise, an experiential breakout area themed like a coffee house might encourage collaboration by attracting small groups who need a place to brainstorm or toss around ideas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The atmosphere of a breakout space should signal to employees the type of environment they can expect to work in. Creating diverse breakout spaces throughout your facilities is a great way to give employees flex space that meets their changing needs. Quiet work today, <a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/discover-more\/blog\/what-are-collaboration-tools\/\">collaboration tools<\/a> tomorrow, and space to spread out next week. The more diverse breakout spaces, the easier employees can move seamlessly throughout the workplace as their day or workload dictates.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"none\">Unstructured space is crucial in agile offices<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW131819145 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW131819145 BCX0\">The role of an office breakout area cannot be understated in the modern workplace.
