I'm working at my desk at the moment - I think the first thing I find is the quite. Most people are out of the work space so I'm almost alone ( 2 other people) in the ground floor. The space does feel too quite but I guess it is not absolutely quieter than being in a office.
I know intellectually that the building will cause people to work from home more and so should be quite silent. As people look for adaption processes to cope with the absence of privacy they will naturally spend more time in the only place where privacy remains ( home).
I'm guessing but I expect some coping policy will evolve - like going in on days when your sure everyone else will be in order to socialise.

Hi Sheep.
I like (parts of) the new building too: I think the workshop and lab space will be really useful; I think the newt-viewing platform is fab (we had a meeting out there today) and the atrium space works really well as a semi-public workspace; and I think the open plan could be made a bit more tolerable with a bit of wider spacing and some non-hard stuff that's capable of soaking up a bit of the sound. Lets hope it doesn't become too much of desert...
