The Ergonomics of Group Workspaces
The Approach:
- Evaluate the floor plans for visual environment, trafficability and access
- Determine compliance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
- Emphasize factors that could impede information flow within and between workspaces
We were able to identify numerous ergonomic shortcomings in viewing environment, trafficability, accessibility, and ADA compliance. "Before and after" perspective scaled diagrams included recommended workspace redesigns that eliminated or minimized viewing angle and trafficability problems.
Our proposed changes improved information viewing, physical movement, and ADA compliance by 30-100% within these group workspaces.
