I can't answer as I expect my answer to change. Currently in a cubicle measuring 6x6 or so in a building in the back of the facility but soon to move to an office measuring maybe 10x10 or 15x15 with a window overlooking the facility, and no change in job title..
 
I just have a cubicle.

At least it has a window....overlooking the much taller building next door, a parking lot, and a half way house, whose existence makes the sex offender map near my place of employment light up like a Christmas tree and where someone jumped off the roof to their death a few months ago.
 
Hard to answer based on the poll options. Self-employed with a physical office, along with other offices and a large warehouse, and a home office. I'm guessing that the combined office space that I occupy is around 1,000 sq/ft.
 
Perhaps surprisingly, these days, most of the time, my office is our coffee shop. It is by far the best place to find people for a much needed quick (and often quiet) chat.
 
My office, at the office, is probably 150 sq ft, and sadly, no windows. I have an administrative assistant too and she has a window! Though her office is a tad smaller though.

My home office is a 110 sq ft spare bedroom.
 
250-500 but I share it with another person. And it's long and narrow with slanted ceilings, so it feels like less space.

Oh the wonders of working in a very old house.
 
No one has an office here, not even the CEO.
That's how it is where I work. Everyone has a cubicle w/ very low walls...all to promote communication and accountability. In a room of almost 1000 people, you're privacy is basically limited to the privacy filter on your computer screen.

Anyone got their own secretary/assistant?

Yup...the un-lucky co-op who wanders toward my desk.
 
Since I'm never in the practice office...this is my office...

I have an office? Why has no one told me about my office?

I don't have an office, more like an area in a very large shared room that takes up about half the floor. I'm against the wall, opposite corner of the passenger elevators with a support pillar making up one side of my area. I have two windows, one overlooks the river and parking lot, the other overlooking the employee roof patio. My one desk is a standing desk that's about 12 feet long, three feet deep, and generally always mess full of projects, parts, boxes, etc. My other desk is a boring, yet clean, sitting desk adjoined to the standing desk in my area.
 
I work in a cubicle, but it's the corner cubicle, and is very spacious. ;) I'm surrounded by 2 solid walls, a cubicle wall, and a 2nd desk. My work area normally wouldn't have an L-shaped desk, but that 2nd desk gives me more space. ;)

If I had to guess, I'd say my area is around 14' x 10', although my area is probably more like 20' x 10', since nobody sits across from my 2nd desk. I'm basically using 2 cubicles worth of space, and more.

I could have had my own office, but I don't want one. I wanted to be out in the main area with everyone else.

Having that corner cubicle is my consolation prize, I suppose.



We get something like this, so not cubicle.

I wish I worked in an office like that.

Our cubicle walls are around 5'8" high, so you can't really see over them unless you stand on your toes.

They don't block out any sound, and all they do is isolate you from others. There's very little benefit of high walls except that it allows you to do some off-topic web browsing, and pick your nose without anybody finding out.

Ha, I do that now, without the benefit of high cubicle walls when I'm in my actual office (once a week) :p
 
my office is 101 - 201 square feet large and very well made. It provides all employes an excellent source to work.
 
My office on campus is probably about 250 square feet of artificially lit, air-conditioned, windowless space. Shared by about a dozen people, needless to say none of us spend much time there.

If I need to meet students outside of class, it is usually in a sala or under a tree nearby.

I mostly work in my apartment, just five minutes away on a bicycle. With windows on three sides, it is airy and has good natural light.

Here is the view from my desk at dusk:

And this is the view from the window behind me at dawn:

I don't know yet. We're moving and building new offices. Will get to see them today for first time. We'll move on or about October 1st.

Current office is about 8 x 12.
 
My office is my dining room table and my window overlooks a lake. Local coworkers are the cats; the rest of my team is in St. Louis and elsewhere around the country.
