Description
This paper aims at discovering sustainable academic workspace design that can match the
technological changes arising from emergent innovation for effectiveness in the contemporary time world of
work. More often, innovation becomes disruptive to effectiveness in a short period of time. The objective of the
paper illustrates the point that effectiveness of workspace influence space utilisation. Space utilisation and values
determination are derivatives of design and sustainable effectiveness. The paper considers current thought in
this area and presents a literature review. Emergent work modes from changing technology and innovations in
workspace design for universal effectiveness were holistically considered. 5 factors were discovered to be
essentially important to the sustainability of workspace design in order to sustain effectiveness of workspace and
that of the worker. This implies that design of workspace imperatively need to insert some elements of
flexibility; otherwise, the time scale major refit benefits of designs for office of the future may turn around to
become hindrances to effectiveness. 109 key variables were generated from literature review as very cognate for
academic workspace design.
