Dear Dave The problem is that none of us expected the growth that we have subsequently incurred since the planning and construction began. Now, only one year into our facility, we are about to run out of space on the top floor. Fortunately, there is still available space on the lower floor. Our problem is how do we split-up our company between the two floors? We are organized into four engineering teams and an administrative team. Our first thought was to move one of the engineering teams to the first floor. When we brought this up for discussion, none of the teams was at all interested in being relocated away from the others over fear of becoming isolated. Some of the teams do occasionally share projects and staff back and forth and this would become more difficult if spread over two floors. The engineering teams want us to move administration to the first floor. Moving the administration team would not gain us as much
extra space on the second floor (they are the smallest group in terms
of area), and the cost would be high to relocate print rooms, files, central
computer room, etc. At the rate we are growing, we could still end up
needing more space on the second floor within a few years. Based on my
brief description of the issues, any ideas?
In selecting the two engineering teams to move down to the first floor, select the two teams that have the most history/potential of sharing projects and staff back and forth. Be sure the first floor space build-out is in every way equal (or even above) in quality and comfort as the second floor so neither team selected to move feels diminished. |
