Effective Open Office Spaces: What’s Sound Got to do With it?
- Mar 2, 2017
Open, collaborative office space seems to be the new way of life for most businesses. With walls, cubicles, and partitions stripped away, the idea is that:
• Employees benefit from free-flowing brainstorming and communication with colleagues
• Business objectives and pursuits become more innovative
• Expenses tied to office equipment, construction, and utilities dwindle
What’s not to love? Heck, the offices of Google and Facebook basically pioneered this unfastened environment. The trend has caught fire and it seems as though (most) businesses around the world don’t believe in closed-door, work-place barriers anymore.
The downside? Noise.
Yes, the challenge that comes attached to an exposed environment is the acoustics. So, back to our initial question: What’s sound got to do with it? Well, quite a bit.
Conversations, phone calls, meetings – and that co-worker that always plays his music too loud – combine to create distractions and a clutter of noise in today’s open office. But before you decide this open office layout just ain’t workin’, look up. Your ceiling is about to become your solution.
