Remote Work & Space
Policy
Workspace Utilization Policy:
"
O?ice Utilization Requirement: If you require a dedicated oWice space, you
are expected to utilize it eWectively. This means being physically present in
your oWice for a minimum of 3 full days (24 hours) per week during regular
working hours.
"
Hotel O?ices: For those who do not meet the above requirement but still
need occasional oWice space, we have "hotel oWices." These are ûexible
workspaces equipped with necessary amenities, bookable via a shared
calendar system. You can reserve these spaces directly on the calendar for
the hours or days you need them. We will have a monitor showing hotel oWice
availability so that if you come in at the last minute you can see what is
available at a glance. Location TBD.
"
Remote Work Option: We understand the value of ûexibility and
acknowledge that certain roles may beneût from remote work arrangements.
If your supervisor approves remote work, we support your decision. However,
if you opt for remote work and require oWice space occasionally, adherence
to the 3-day per week oWice presence rule will apply to be eligible for a
dedicated oWice.
"
Student Desk Utilization: a similar policy applies to desks occupied by
graduate students. We expect graduate students to participate in the
interdisciplinary interchange at the SCI Institute and provide desks for that
process. If students have the approval of their mentors to work remotely,
then a hotel-desk arrangement will be available for occasional
visits. Otherwise, we expect students to also spend the majority of their
working week at their desks.
