Why is my dog suddenly having accidents?

Okay here is the short of it. My dog comes with me to work almost everyday and she has started having accidents in the office. I am beside myself about this. She never has accidents in the house even when she's been inside for 8+ hours, yet this past month she has had an accident almost every week in the office.

She goes at 5am when we leave for work. I take her for a long walk around the office park at 7am. She goes again at 11 and 12 when I'm going and coming back for lunch. Then we leave at 4 to go home.

At first she was only having accidents in the afternoon so I started taking her out once at 2 or 3 as well. Only reason I hadn't been doing this before is its really hot and she gets very over heated. That seemed to help, but this morning she had an accident when we had been in the office for less than an hour.

Its always the same spot too so I don't think she "has to go" I think something about that part of the office is triggering her. She is a marker so my best guess is she's marking her territory? I have started keeping her tethered to my desk and she doesn't have an accident as long as she is secured. Also the office is just one big room with desks so its not like I can keep her away from "that spot" all I can do is keep her tied up.

Really though I'm at my Witts end and was wondering if anyone here could offer advice or maybe some insight. Thanks.
