18. 关于在 COVID-19 大流行期间吸取的经验教训，行预咨委会获悉，这些经验教训包括：根据从行业和其他已经实施灵活工作场所战略的联合国办事处吸取的其他最佳做法，将工作人员占用率提高 25%的目标；改变一些规格，在后续翻新的设计和规格中引入非接触式配件和易清洗的饰面；由于有利的气候条件，可以安装用于室外协作会议的工作舱，提供一个降低COVID-19感染风险的工作环境，从而促进了联合国内罗毕办事处的“返回办公室”战略，最终目的是每个办公区提供一个工作舱(另见同上，第 17、20 和 38 段)。
18. With regard to the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Advisory Committee was informed that they included a 25 per cent target increase in staff occupancy based on additional best practices learned from the industry and other United Nations offices that had already implemented flexible workspace strategies; changing some specifications to introduce non-touch fittings and easily cleanable finishes in the design and specification of subsequent refurbishments; and favourable climate conditions had allowed for the installation of the workpods for outdoor collaborative meetings and a working environment with a reduced risk of COVID-19 infection, thereby facilitating the United Nations Office at Nairobi “back to office” strategy with the ultimate intention of providing one workpod per office block (see also ibid., paras. 17, 20 and 38).
