Space Planning Checklist

Consider the size of your space based on your current needs and your projections for growth…

• Analyze the traffic flow of your office, placing individuals who meet with clients frequently in an easily accessible location.
• Place workers in near proximity who frequently collaborate on projects
• Review office machinery (copier, fax, printers, etc.) and place equipment near the employees who use it most.
• When using systems furniture, lay out your plan carefully making sure to include any columns, bump-outs or irregularities in the space.
• Always measure carefully and include the sizes of office furniture and system panels in your calculations to avoid narrow and cramped walkways and work spaces.
• Plan the cabling and wiring for your telecommunications and electronic equipment. Make sure each work space is adequately equipped and no cables will be running down or across the aisles.
• Be sure to plan for adequate storage and equipment areas to avoid clutter and safety hazards.
• Discuss ergonomic needs with your employees -- computer keyboards, monitor placement, adjustable chairs and equipment, telephone headsets, lighting, etc.
• Investigate code requirements and city or county permits when moving or reconfiguring your office space
