With a click of a mouse, office workers in Rosslyn, Virginia, can reserve a socially-distanced outside office space, and escape their high-rise hives for a while.

The Rosslyn Business Improvement District is putting the final touches on O2, which stands for Outdoor Office, located in Gateway Park.

It will open in mid-October.

O2 will be free, but will require an online reservation.

It has two separate work spaces with multiple physically-distanced seating options, and free Wi-Fi available.

Rosslyn BID “ambassadors” will be on-site to sanitize the workspaces and control their use.

“We know that safe outdoor public spaces are key to maintaining mental and physical health and helping people feel connected to where they spend their time,” said Mary-Claire Burick, president of the Rosslyn BID.

O2 was designed by The Brand Guild in D.C., and is funded by the Rosslyn BID.

Oil prices slip and Asian shares are mostly lower as investors sell chipmaker stocks

By The Associated Press
HONG KONG (AP) — Oil prices fell Wednesday and Asian shares were mostly trading lower as South Korea’s Kospi extended its losses after falling more than 16% over the past two days. Crude prices remain volatile after the U.S. said early Thursday it had conducted a “heavy wave” of strikes against Iran, responding to an attack on a U.S. base. U.S. futures edged higher after losses on Wall Street. In South Korea, recent drops in its benchmark Kospi, a big beneficiary of the global boom in artificial intelligence, have been seen by some analysts as a reflection of broader doubts about massive investments by technology giants in expanding capacity for AI.
