Article Abstract:

The architectural and environmental features of the Michael Young building at the Open University Business School are presented. The architect and the client analyzed different 'work settings' and evolved a concept providing an environment that could be suitable in encouraging interaction among the staff and students in an informal way, thus creating good rapport between them resulting in increasing the fame of the University.
