How do you create a quiet zone within an open-plan desk floor?

A quiet zone in an open floor plan requires both physical design and behavioral norms. Physical approaches: position the quiet zone away from main thoroughfares, high-traffic amenities, and phone booth proximity; use higher-panel workstations or acoustic screens to buffer the zone; add acoustic ceiling treatment above the quiet zone; use carpet in the quiet zone and hard flooring elsewhere. Behavioral norms: post clear signage, establish no-call and low-voice policies, and have leadership model the expected behavior.
