4ISE 311 - 11
Areas of concern in cubicles
Visual variety
Visual privacy
Acoustic privacy
5ISE 311 - 11
Advantages of the open plan & modular furniture More people/square feet Lower rearrangement costs Lower energy costs More productivity (possibly)
6ISE 311 - 11
Office space/employee Open space vs private office (60/40) Private office
Size depends on function (see Tables 10.1-10.3, pp. 173-176)

Single/multiple purpose Dimensions (primarily AV driven)
Typical training room holds 30 people. Length-to-width ratio of 1.2-1.33:1 Seats
2H to 6H away from screen (H = vertical size of projected image)
within 60 degrees from each end of display Screen bottom 48” above floor
min ceiling height = 54 + MVD/6where MVD = maximum viewing distance
May wish to have wide screen or multiple screens

Conference, meeting, & training (cont.)
Equipment Screen can be front or rear projection Enamel marker board (white board) Flip charts TV monitors Lockable storage area Clock, fax, telephone, perimeter hooks

Conference, meeting, & training (cont.)
Furniture Meetings (interaction among all or class interaction
primarily with instructor) Table (30-40” wide; 18-24” deep) Table supports shouldn’t restrict chair placement Table shape: U, V, rectangular, circular Chairs for sitting, not writing or keying Arm rests: swivel, tilt. Possibly along wall also Illumination (multiple controls) Auditory (keep noise out; also from getting out)
15ISE 311 - 11
Table Shapes and Eye Contact
16ISE 311 - 11
Conference, meeting, & training (cont.)
Illumination General room illumination is fluorescent Room décor should be restrained Parabolic ceiling fixtures reduce glare and
produce primarily direct illumination Other visual requirements vary according to
the task Auditory environment
For conference rooms for 20 people: <43 dbA
For rooms with sound amplification: <45 dbA
For conferences at a 7-foot table: <48 dbA
For general activities: Maximums of ≤ NC35
For conference rooms with audio recordings:≤ NC20
