Above is an interesting article on a study done to measure productivity gains in a "war room" style collaborative workspace than a more traditional corporate cube-farm.

I know that often people talk about how collocation is better and how teams are more productive in these environments than not, but this is the first time I've seen data to back up these claims.

I invite anyone else to share their experiences with workspace restructuring.  I'm in the process at the company I'm at now at redesigning the workspace and of course many developers are upset about it.  They've always worked in high-wall cubes separated on different ends of the offices.  Some just don't want to give up their cushy window seat, others feel they'll lose privacy, etc.  I'm curious to learn about others who've reorganized and how feelings were before and after.
