3. MINICASE
Minicase
When the Donovan Insurance Company built the new building
seventeen years ago,
Conventional office lay-out was use-many private offices with almost
no open space. The Board of Directors recently approved an
extensive remodeling project, resulting in an updating of the
facilities. Before any decisions are made about the new layout, the
vice president in charge of coordinating the renovation project has
requested you, the administrative office manager, to determine
whether or not landscaping is feasible. Prepare the report for the vice
president in which you
1. Identify the factors that should be considered in determining
whether or not landscaping is feasible
2. Present the advantages that would result from the use of
landscaping if it were used in designing the new layout
4. IN THIS MINICASE
Open space of the building, so that the building can
receive sunlight and natural wind
The green space inside the building
Empty space outside the building (we cannot design
open space if the space outside the building is
obscured by next buildings)
Quality of the building
We need to do a research report on the feasibility of
extensive remodeling the building of Donovan Insurance
company.
This is an old building that has been built for 17 years,
conventional office lay-out was used-many private
offices with almost no open space.
In this remodeling report, we need to consider factors to
evaluate feasibility, such as
5. AS A RESULT
Improved workspace
Increase work efficiency
Motivate employees
Increase the bond between employees and
the company
Cost savings (electricity, recruitment, ...)
Expand the working space for employees
The use of landscape if it is used in the design
of the new layout will help
6. CASE
Because of the cooperation with a new
partner so we moved our law office to
downtown Chicago. Currently, we are
designing the space layout for the new
office.
To do that, we had to follow certain
rules that were settled in the case
instruction of the book. We have
ensured that the firm office layout we
created had to be as efficient as
possible.
7. The office of the company we
had to design is a large room of
74 feet by 64 feet located on
the 27th floor of a building.
However, we didn't have to
work on the 20 feet by 64 feet
area which houses: restrooms,
mechanical room, galley-style
kitchen and a store room.
We had to work on 54 feet by
64 feet area. As you can see on
the slide, The company office
consists of 5 main rooms
8. To avoid breaking codes, we have placed the
reception area at the entrance of the office and it was
thought to be fairly airy. The room consists of an
office that can accommodate two receptionists (even
if there's just one: This could help in case of staff
enlargement). There is also, inside the reception area,
chairs and a sofa that can accommodate six visitors
simultaneously.
T h e R e c e p t i o n A r e a
This room is for the three attorneys. For each
attorney, there is: a small meeting table, an office
desk, 4 chairs to accommodate and a comfy sofa for
the attorney. This layout will allow them to welcome
their customers in the best possible conditions and
thus to organize small meetings without, however,
reserving the large conference room

9. It is a room created for the organization of important
meetings of the society. This room can accommodate
eight participants. Moreover, since external persons of
the company may have to attend meetings, we
decided to create an entrance through the reception.
Therefore, attorneys can keep their privacy
T h e C o n f e r e n c e R o o m
A space that can accommodate three small offices and
it is in this room where are placed the two legal
secretaries and the clerk typist. Each employee has a
desk and a small space with chair to accommodate a
few people. This room will be an area surrounded by
permanent walls.
