Post Occupancy: Changes Made As A Result Of Feedback

The only change is to the shape of the interactive desks. Initially the plan was for circular desks. They actually painted everything on the floor first to see how it all fitted in and found that what looks good on a drawing doesn't necessarily look good or work in reality. The desk was changed to more of an oval shape at nil cost because the manufacturers provided both types of desk.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
