Instead of doing all this work to figure out which dilapidated box to put people in, make work at home mandatory for jobs that don't require you to be in an office. Keep a small contingent of swing space for meetings and the rare occasion that you need to go in. Sell all that extra, unneeded space to the highest bidder.
Of course management won't like it, because line management becomes useless and will disappear. All you would need are project managers and a few directors to allocate distributed resources and base performance reviews solely on PM feedback.
Face it, in a vast majority of government jobs, there is no need for face to face human interaction. In fact, human interaction is the reason most people hate their jobs. If we take a step in the right direction, job satisfaction would go through the roof.
