 | | While the cubicles might make this office setup seem quite unusual to some at first sight, for the PWR instructors, who moved there in September 2005, this office has become a communal space by means of the social and collegial environment enabled by its very spatial configuration. |
 | | The open space of the Sweet Hall office allows the "Sweet mates" or "Sweet peeps," as some of these office mates like to refer to each other in collective emails, to interact with each other more freely than is possible in separate offices. |
 | | However, the conversations among the office mates and regular meetings with the PWR directors and administrative staff have led to many convenient solutions for such problems; recently, for instance, a fax machine to file forms and equipment requests has been installed in the office, and the instructors' mail is now being forwarded from Margaret Jacks. |
