closed-shared, and closed-private offices on faculty work patterns and faculty-student interaction in a community college, based on 456 interviews with students and faculty. One hundred faculty and 356 students completed questionnaires. Faculty offices were observed throughout several days. Closed-private offices were found to be the most effective for faculty-student interactions. McLean (2004) analyzes key communication patterns between office workers in order to identify an office layout that will maximize communication, work flow and job performance.
