Open Workstations
Summary
Workstation accommodates average requirements for worksurface, shelving, storage and filing. Filing cabinets may be centralized as an alternative layout. The use of freestanding furniture components is encouraged for increased flexibility. Note: Furniture layouts are provided for example and may vary.
Height of filing cabinet may vary to suit workstation location (e.g., window locations - maximum two drawers high to allow transfer of natural light).
