"An Activity Based Workplace (ABW) is all about choice. The planning and design of an ABW includes a menu of spaces to support different workplace activities rather than forcing people to do everything at the one desk. An ABW can increase desk utilisation by not assigning desks to individuals. People can physically locate themselves wherever it is most appropriate for them to undertake their work. If quiet concentrative work is necessary then a 'focus' room or semi enclosed area can be utilised; if an informal discussion is required people can use a range of unbookable rooms; if an ad hoc presentation is required there can be small rooms equipped with screens and audio visual equipment; meeting rooms of all sizes can house the latest technologies; and typically there are central hubs on each floor accessible to all. This is all over and above traditional desk and meeting room set ups - the possibilities and opportunities for ABW are limitless. The menu of spaces typically range from open to closed, individual to collaborative, quiet to vibrant, bright to subdued. And usually there is a fairly even balance of space dedicated to communication and meetings as there is dedicated to workstations themselves."
