duct work for ventilating multiple smaller offices properly is problematic vs just having one big open space. I'm not sure what fire codes may have to say about it either. ventilation was one issue that was brought up to me years ago when asked for input on a new office revamp.

- mrweasel 10y agoI'm almost certain that it's legal in US to have people work in a windowless room, but I doubt that most people would accept it. So you're also restricted in how "deep" your building can be, if you discard the open office plan. Meaning that you'd have to build higher, or have more buildings.
