Do they charge for residents to use or a great free amenity?

Soundproof office pods.
With the ability to dampen sounds for a quiet, more productive environment!

Just wondering…do they actually get used? Is it a “new” thing? Meaning: will they still want to use it after the novelty wears off? What’s the cost?

Did they get a lot of use? Were they free or did you charge to use?

They got a ton of use and they were free. First come first serve basis. Huge selling point to prospects who WFH and have to be on calls and in meetings. Also had a good wow factor

Most definitely! This will become the norm!

I’m on the vendor side now, but
I’m seeing it as a hot trend for the industry.

Maybe call them "time-out" pods so those residents can sit there and think about what they said/did.

Naw. You'd have to "sanitize it" after every use. What's the point? Only thing it does allow for is a little more sound privacy.

You obviously never had to work in one of those horrible collaborative work spaces where you would kill for a quiet place to make a call or hold an online meeting!

So, a phone booth? Because I grew up with them and they were called phone booths.
