So, one thing you have in your office that libraries don’t have is a desk phone for every person working at a desk, which is typical of most offices. Depending on how much call traffic there is, this can be really difficult to deal with when there are a lot of people in an office [as there has been in the open plans I’ve had to work in]. You provide more space per person than I’ve ever seen as well. I suspect the main reason this works as well as it does for you is the limited number of in-office workers you have most of the time. Kudos for how much thought and effort you put into planning and implementing this, but I doubt most companies would be that thoughtful…especially since so many are still lying about how it is all about “encouraging collaboration”.
