Welcome to the workplace of the third millennium. And in the emerging work patterns of the new decade, the design of a workplace is now changing by a number of additional elements. Rapid technological developments, increasingly complex and expensive environmental concerns, flexibility to accommodate reconfigured work teams, employee concerns (ergonomics, ambience, mood and motivating spaces), customers demanding more services, changing work methods are some of the new challenges in designing the NEW office. Walls are being pulled down, hierarchies being redefined and a comfort level which spawns performance as well as customer satisfaction is the most sought-after feature in office design today.
