Collaborative spaces have come under fire as of late, and more often than not, the fingers are being pointed at open offices. This recent outcry has led some to doubt if the concept of collaboration itself isn’t to blame. But when industry data is scarce, and there's little consistency among office designs, how do you determine what (or whom) is at fault?
We posed this question to IA’s Senior Director of Strategy Mary Lee Duff, LEED AP, IIDA and IA Design Director Grzegorz Kosmal, AIA, LEED AP BD+C , who lent us some industry insights that help to answer this question. Join us on this hour-long webinar (ending in a Q&A session) where they discuss common barriers to collaboration in open, flexible office designs, and what can be done to overcome them.
