Welcome everyone! Today we're diving into space management. Can anyone tell me why space management might be important?

And it probably makes it easier to work in offices too.
Exactly! Effective space management involves planning and organizing areas to create a comfortable and functional environment. It helps to avoid a cramped feeling in rooms.
So, it’s not just about how things look?
Correct! It’s also about functionality. Think about this acronym: SPACE – Structure, Private areas, Aesthetic appeal, Circulation, and Efficient use.

In planning space, we have several principles to consider. Can anyone name one?
Privacy?
