We're currently relocating which means rediscovering people's
personal needs. It makes for some interesting reflection.

When I moved in with the team, there were public work areas and
everyone still had their personal space.

Then we redesigned the office to it's current form. People still had
personal space, but a lot of people realized they needed less and
it could be across the hall.

Now we're asking what people need again. Answers vary from "a place
to plug in a phone and a filing cabinet" to "a shared cubicle area" to
"a personal cube". It's interesting to see that even after years of
shared space, some people still need a little private space that's 
theirs.

One of the spaces I hardly use but greatly appreciate is the
"relaxation room". A room with a very comfortable chair, a simple
music system with some relaxtion CDs, and the ability to turn off
all lights (wonderful for stopping headaches and migraines before
they start). It's also perfect for nursing mothers to pump, reading
regaltory specifications, or just being able to sit down and deal 
when bad news comes over the phone.
