Summary

The space-organisation connection is a subject with which the facility management (FM) community has dealt with for a significant number of years. Perhaps the connection speaks for itself. In some cases the influence may be so self-evident that scientific evidence is unnecessary for human understanding. For instance, within facility design (Tompkins, White, Bozer & Tanchoco, 2010) it is evident that buildings cannot change the fundaments of the primary process of an organisation, but they most certainly can facilitate, hinder, or frustrate this system (Handler, 1970).
