person’s “office” consists of personal file drawers that can be rolled to a new bank of workstations as groups reconfigure over time. In addition to the open central workspace, there is a row of enclosed offices along an interior corridor for people whose work demands privacy. Partitions and columns within the general work area provide vertical display surfaces for projects in progress. The perimeter is punctuated with nooks of various sizes that afford seating and work surfaces for smallgroup meetings. The larger meeting spaces feature monitors and white boards, as does the cafeteria area, should bright ideas spontaneously pop up over lunch. And Internet access is available throughout. Individual comfort is enhanced through ergonomically flexible workstations, and everyone receives training on how best to use those ergonomic features. “The studio’s bench seating workstation solution is part of a wellresearched office-productivity strategy the design team embraced,” says Associate Principal Grzegorz Kosmal, AIA, LEED AP, the project’s design director. “Our studies indicate that nearly 90 percent of the staff have found that the new space significantly increased their ability to collaborate effectively, in both their workspace and break-out areas. Plus, they have a sense of pride when clients or friends come to visit and see the place in which they work.”
