Quotation of the Day for June 29, 2014"Finally, our results categorically contradict the industry-accepted wisdom that open-plan layout enhances communication between colleagues and improves occupants' overall work environmental satisfaction.... Moreover, the increment of overall workspace satisfaction due to the positive impact of ease of interaction in open-plan office layouts failed to offset the decrements by negative impacts of noise and privacy. This implies that even though occupants are satisfied with interactions in open-plan layout, their overall workspace satisfaction will eventually decreased unless a certain level of privacy and acoustical quality are provided." - Jungsoo Kim and Richard de Dear, writing in Workspace satisfaction: The privacy-communication trade-off in open-plan offices.
