Workspace Design Considerations

Posted by cooladmin on November 29, 2010 in Construction |

I’m compiling a list of things that should be considered when designing your workspace. These can be put into specific requirements sections, but for now, it’s just a quick overview list:

  • Workflow – How the workspace will be used during operation
  • Communications – How will most communications be structured? e.g. Phone, Computer, Fax, Prairie-Dogging (sticking your head above the cubicle).
  • Budget – how much money is available for all aspects of the workspace.
  • Space/Location – how much room is available and needed for computer equipment, document storage, etc.
  • Visitors – Is there space needed for visitors, meetings, and presentations?
  • Flexibilty – Will future changes be required, allowed, or possible?
  • Ergonomics – what furniture is required for proper posture during normal working conditions. How can placement of equipment be beneficial and efficient?
  • Environment – Considerations for space, lighting, noise, and other external factors.
  • Security – Are there any documents or equipment that must be secured from intrusion?
  • Legal/External Requirements – are there any specific construction regulations that must be used?  Are there any corporate policies that must be adhered to?
