Workspaces have evolved over the last few decades. Office buildings built in the middle half of the 20th century were designed with individual offices for privacy and efficiency. The end of the last century saw a shift in office design to a new open-office concept. This new concept was touted as fostering a collaborative working environment and eliminating wasted space.
