…This session presents new evidence showing how micro‑level workspace conditions — specifically natural light, views, and task lighting — relate to teachers’ positions within organizational communication networks. Using full‑population sociometric analysis and spatial perception data from a K–6 school, the study demonstrates that workspace affordances significantly predict closeness centrality in advice‑seeking and social networks. Findings highlight how small environmental features influence collaboration, knowledge flow, and organizational resilience, offering a systems‑level model for evidence‑based educational design.
