The Knowledge Center is central to the office environment.
Integrated Office Concepts
Pittsburgh, PA

Description

A centralized area with educational materials that enrich the knowledge of employees within an organization.

Justification

70-80% of what we learn at work is informal, ( Brill, 1998 ). Learning is an integral part of today's workday. Providing the resources for employees to learn in an informal manner enriches the careers of the employees and enhances the output contributions to the company.
