There are many physically unsafe jobs out there — firefighters, police, people in the military — but most of us are much more likely to encounter traumas of a different sort. To put things in perspective, the chances of being in an active shooter incident at work in the U.S. are over a million to one. By comparison, one in four women are impacted by sexual harassment at work. So, by putting some design focus on this issue, we could really make a difference.

A variety of factors is driving the move to less opulent CEO space. One big reason for the change can be traced to the millennials' influence. "In 2025, 75 percent of the workforce will be millennial, and that is something you can't ignore," Gannon says. "They are a progressive group who wants access to leadership."

Thus, the majority of executives want "more progressive environments that involve some form of open plan."

"You can see, as the lights come down, it starts to feel like, 'Hey I can come here with a friend. I can enjoy my dinner.' I think you can see this restaurant speaks and feels more dinner focused than lunch focused," Miles said during a preview event in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The Field Museum's stately marble hall is about to get a lot more wild. Later this year, the skylit vaulted ceilings of Stanley Hall will be overtaken by a flock of flying reptiles and hanging gardens containing over 1,000 live plants that thrived alongside dinosaurs.
