3 Areas Every Office Needs
In the design world, office space planning is increasingly the key to employee success. Many employers realize that the office layout can have a direct effect on their employees’ creativity and happiness. Whether your office is an open space or filled with desks and office cubicles, one thing remains constant – the need for workplace diversification. No matter your space, at a minimum, your office design should incorporate these 3 areas every office needs.
The Workroom:
When you need to think creatively, or when you just need a clean space to work, the workroom is an open area where work can be produced. It is an ideal environment for any business that needs a way to think outside the box. For the right design, keep furnishing to a minimum. All you need is a few long office tables and chairs for convenience. Plus, a few pieces of inspiring art work on the walls for a pop of color.
The Sanctuary:
As more and more businesses turn to open space and collaborative designs, it becomes important that a sanctuary is available for your employees who need a break from the noise and chaos. Just like school libraries are a staple on college campuses, the sanctuary is a space where employees can research and work on projects in silence. Keep cell phones, telephones, and any conversation out of the sanctuary. Install individual office desks, or communal tables with walls to mimic a library atmosphere.
The Center:
The center is the heart and soul of your company. Unlike a break room, the center is not just for meal and break time gatherings. It’s the part of your office where community and sense of teamwork is built. It’s where ice cream socials, company meetings, and game days are held. The center is a space where employees can recharge. Add white boards (or chalk boards) in the center of the room for impromptu brainstorming sessions. Make the room adaptable for any event by outfitting the center with moveable office furniture.
