Travel terminals are set to dominate

Article Abstract:

UK planners and developers believe that in the future public environmental considerations mean that the availability of public transport will be a major factor in choosing business locations. They forecast a move away from traditional city centre offices towards massive business parks which will be built around railway stations and airports. However, a 1995 survey showed that UK firms rated rail infrastructure only the 13th most important factor in their location decision, with nearness to an airport only 14th.

The managers of the most highly developed office buildings now have access to sophisticated computer equipment which can supply details about all aspects of the building, including cleaning, the movement of the lifts and the maintenance of heating and air conditioning systems. The main role of the building manager is to ensure maximum return on the building for the landlord, balancing income from tenants against expenditure on the fabric and fittings.
