why do offices preclude collaboration? we all have our own offices. we all keep our doors open. we all collaborate. and when we need quiet, or real privacy, we shut our doors. marisa ________________________________________ From: Research Administration List [xxxxxx@lists.healthresearch.org] On Behalf Of ONeill, Patricia [xxxxxx@UML.EDU] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2014 2:16 PM To: xxxxxx@lists.healthresearch.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Central Office Floor Plan & Work Environment I used to have a private office and then went to a cubicle. I thought I’d hate it, but I actually kind of liked it. There was a lot more collaboration with my colleagues. I did not like the lack of phone privacy though.

Subject: Central Office Floor Plan & Work Environment Georgia State University is in the process of moving its central OSPA office into new office space with a new floor plan and office configuration. Currently each of us has a private office with a door. The new space that is being proposed would simulate the now infamous Google open environment where there will be 4 people to a cube/space and the entire area would be open with little to no privacy. Does anyone currently work in this type of environment? If so what are your experiences? For those who do not work in this type of environment what would you perceive as being the pros and cons to being in this type of work arrangement?
