Andrea Vanecko, IIDA

As a corporate market leader, Andrea plays a key leadership role in NBBJ’s workplace design studio in Seattle. For more than 30 years, she has been recognized for her forward-thinking approach to workplace design. Now, as the workplace increasingly shifts to “anyplace,” her additional background in hospitality and retail helps her develop the next generation of working solutions. Andrea combines a passion for creating inspiring workplaces with a solid grasp of business and operational issues. She partners with major corporations — including Starbucks, the Port of Seattle, Microsoft and the University of Washington — to change the way they look at their workplace and to develop design solutions that accommodate the next generation of workers.

When it comes to office real estate decisions, cost per square foot is king. While an important metric to assess financial viability, cost per square foot lacks the ability to measure a building’s impact on an employee’s enthusiasm for their work and where they do it. That’s why we created the Delight Factor, a quantitative measurement that scores a building based on how it makes people feel. By measuring four factors scientifically proven to increase delight—variety, daylight, nature and socialization—we can generate a building’s Delight score, which can then be paired with cost per square foot to create a more holistic analysis of your investment.
