New Workplaces for New Workstyles 

by Marilyn Zelinsky 

Synopsis

For reasons ranging from high occupancy costs to changing employee demographics, team-based approaches, and the Clean Air Act of 1990, businesses are engaged in workplace restructuring. This book demonstrates the alternatives to the square-foot-per-person theory of office space.

From the Author
Why I wrote this book:
I wrote this book because I sensed a surging interest in howand why the look, feel, and management of our corporate workplaces continue to change. I realized this interest when I wrote a column on home office design and alternative officing for Interiors Magazine. I found a mountain of overwhelming, confusing information, and realized the need for one comprehensive source with an index to which a design or facility professional could refer for helpful and insightful information on putting together an alternative officing program. I hope the book will become a reference, an inspiration, and a tool for you to use towards your own discoveries in planning, designing, and managing an alternative workplace.
