Collaborative Spaces Inject Engagement into Buildings

摘要

Rows of cubicles can be as dull and rigid as a Rubik's Cube, but collaborative spaces introduce more activity and flexibility into the workplace. "As enclosed offices have phased out, the shift to open office plans has allowed more collaborative spaces to come in," says Marc Margulies, principal at Mar-gulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA), a firm that specializes in collaborative design. "People think they're losing space, but if you introduce more huddle and gathering places, then you're not really losing out." Regardless of your facility type, there are ways to reimagine and reconfigure your workplace to create a more engaged workforce.
