Open plan office space? If you're going to do it, do it right: A fourteen-month longitudinal case study.

There are compelling findings that open-plan office environments are associated with declines in employee wellbeing. In spite of this, the move towards shared office environments continues; yet there is a lack of research describing open-plan offices that have positive outcomes for workers. We describe a "best practice" open-plan fit-out of a law firm and provide data from occupants relating to their performance, well-being, and collegial relationships.
