A Sample of Reader Comments:

"(I just) moved from a 1970s office building–very stark, bad lighting, claustrophobic–into a new, open, bright workspace, and I simply feel better. If I feel better, I’m able to work better, increasing my company’s profit margin."

"Definitely. We spend a majority of our day in the workplace. If people are comfortable and happy in their environment, it makes them want to come to work, work harder, and excel."

"Absolutely. 100%. If you are comfortable, relaxed, and in a good mindset, then you are more apt to work and think more freely and harder. I think working in a cool space helps you to ‘want’ to be at work."

"Get rid of the cubicle walls, and you’ll have dramatic increases in communication, morale, productivity and profit."
