No assigned seating in new WSJ interactive workspace

Chaz Repak, the director of global real estate and facilities services at Dow Jones & Co., produced a video of The Wall Street Journal’s new interactive workspace on the seventh floor of its offices at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in midtown Manhattan.

“Staff do not have assigned seats,” said Repak. “That allows them to work wherever they like in the space to do whatever kind of work they need to do at the time.”
