I believe it about open plan vs private offices, but this is a comparison between offices in general and libraries (which have effectively zero collaboration)

> libraries (which have effectively zero collaboration)

Have you never studied with other people together at a library? Most of my time spent in library during high school and university was spent working together on assignments or studying in groups for exams. It's not just me, whenever I go to my local libraries, they're always full of students studying (many studying in groups).

It's not unusual to have small rooms that groups can use to work together in a library. But in my experience with large libraries, the main reading rooms are pretty quiet and don't have groups speaking more than a token amount.

Not offices in general, but open plan offices specifically.
