office building
Where employees work
An office building is a structure designed primarily to house businesses and workplaces rather than residences or manufacturing.
Office buildings range from small professional suites to corporate headquarters to downtown skyscrapers.
The term distinguishes commercial workspace from other building types: The old warehouse was converted into an office building.
