Josh: One of my concerns would be that the computer infrastructure at my office is inferior to what I have at home in terms of processing speed, data storage, screen size and quality, and even network speed and reliability.
Josh: Another requirement would be that all meeting rooms would have to be really well equipped and maintained in order for remote attendees to be as well connected as those in the room. If the Zoom experience is poor that would really limit the abilities of remote workers once many people are attending meetings in person.
Carlos: What would the impacts on visitors such as the Visiting Scholars be? Currently we share offices.
Jim: Several thoughts
Keck is on a hiring spree – office space will be at a premium
Redesign of remote ops to add some offices?
If I’m at home >50% of the time, do I need an office?
Offices could be converted to private space for telecons, equipped w/ stand-up desk, giant monitor. Could be reserved like a conference room
One/two offices converted to communal storage for books/stuff
Improve data infrastructure (network, NAS/cloud capacity) such that we don’t need to be tied to personal disks with our data on them.
