1. Stop taking free stuff. This can be a difficult philosophical shift when one isworking on a tight budget. Just get what you need. It requires planning.
2. Remove the clutter. Clutter (signs, decorations, old electronic equipment and donated items that may be useful in the future) makes a space appear disorganized and much smaller.
3. Try removing everything off a desk or work surface and observe the difference both physically and mentally.
4. Make sure you are using space in a way that supports your mission. Make sure space is allocated accordingly.
5. Get control of your wires. Wrapped in wire management conduit and mounted to the underside of the work surface. It will look better, avoid tripping hazards and make the space feel larger.
6. Purchase the most flexible furniture possible. Growth equates to less space per capita and the reconfiguration of space/functions. This can be accomplished with moveables shelving, modular work stations and especially service desks.
7. Provide space for public functions AND space for the staff space to support them.
8. Staff must have adequate space to work in order to provide the best possible service –the two go hand and hand.
