DETAILS

TitleFurniture layout in an area inside the Administration Building at the Petrie MillDescriptionIn 1985, a new office layout was introduced in an area nicknamed The Boardroom to radically improve customer service. One staff member was seated on each side of a pod allowing them ample workspace, however no visual contact with their colleagues. While the new concept may have looked good on the drawing board it was not popular with staff. Gradually over time the pod was dismantled.Date1985PhotographerAustralian Paper ManufacturersCollectorAustralian Paper ManufacturersRecord typePhotographFormat typeDigitalOriginal format colourBlack and white
