The trick to maximizing that space, of course, is a bit complex: You want to reduce the amount of space given to any one employee, but you don't want to risk losing the organizational culture. You also cannot afford to hurt productivity. This is where mathematics (and sometimes algorithms) can help play a part in space optimization when it comes to office design and layout.
