How do I plan a collaborative zone in an open office?

Dedicate 15–25% of total open office square footage to collaborative zones — clusters of benching, lounge seating, or high tables. Position collaboration zones near natural light, away from primary focus-work areas, and with acoustic treatment (ceiling baffles, soft furnishings) to contain noise. Plan 25–40 sq. ft. per collaborative seat. OfficeFurniture2go.com designs open office collaborative zones — call 1-800-460-0858.
