Socially Ergonomic Environmental Design

Variables for collaboration.

Published October 2007 A metric for interaction.

There are over 20 very specific, named variables in any given science building that affect the level of collaboration that will occur in that building. New research is being done to quantitatively correlate these variables into a Socially Ergonomic Environmental Design metric to guide design decisions and evaluate facility features.
