One of our former Mayors used open plan offices for his private buisnesses and tried to get some of the city agencies to convert to them as well. We had a great big floor (with 360 degree views) covered with desks everywhere and I really liked it. I got to know some of what was going on with things I was not involved with and the extra noise and people roaming around were nice distractions and removes some of the isolation of closed spaces. This kind of set up would not be good for everyone and would take some getting used to, but I missed it when we moved to other, more traditional type of spaces.
