It’s about old buildings that are being used by young companies.
First read the following questions.

1. How are Yelp’s new offices described?
2. What do you think Class B buildings are?
3. Why did companies traditionally have ‘glitzy spaces’?
4. Why is this not important for tech companies today?
5. What are the garage doors used for?
6. How are the millennial minds kept happy?
7. Why does it not matter that the wiring is visible?
8. What do the workers want?
9. How is the old building sector changing?

Watch the video and answer the questions.

Do the exercise.

Discuss the following questions with your partner.

1. Would you prefer to work in an old building or a new building?
2. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?
3. Think of a study space you like and a study space you don’t like. What are the differences, and why do you like/not like?
4. To what extent does the space affect how you work?
