"The September 11 terrorist acts were an attack on America -- and the American workplace. And they have changed the way office managers, architects, and CEOs think about work. Read how the Office of the Future Consortium thinks your workplace will change... Future@Work contains a collection of striking habitats with names like 'Immersion Space' and 'Harbor' that aim to demonstrate such design principles as flexibility, sustainability, and connectivity. The exhibit shows how one room can take on three distinct personalities to meet the diverse and shifting needs of employees throughout a day. It also educates visitors about the use of energy-saving devices, recycled furniture, and other 'green' strategies."
