The Times Higher Education recently quoted a report by a Dutch University, which claimed that universities could reduce estate footprint by 25% if staff become less “territorial” and shared teaching and office space with colleagues in other departments.
We asked the Efficiency Exchange community whether they are fans of communal ways of working, or find having their own workspace more efficient. Here are the results:
