Describes how the communicational and economies-of-scale advantages of open-plan offices are lost when working groups have to endure uncomfortable and uncontrollable environments resulting from lack of consideration of their needs at the planning stage and from management and maintenance deficiencies thereafter. Concludes that facilities managers who lack the resources to run the open-plan system properly should kill it and go for shallow-depth cellular offices with simpler services; cure it only if there is full understanding of, and resources to provide for, all the elements of its management.
