It’s 6:30 a.m. and your alarm goes off for the third time after a snooze-sleep-repeat groove you began at 5:30 a.m., you stumble out of Bed, eyes hardly open, tripping over the shoes you left there the night before. It’s very clear you’re not a morning person, or perhaps it’s a loss of incentive knowing a lackluster cubicle awaits your presence for the remainder of the day. While these humdrum areas have been a traditional office foundation, trends in the workforce are headed towards a new light—tearing down the walls and opting for larger, open spaces to stimulate the mind, drive productivity, and encourage collaboration.
