Layout planning: zones & walkways

Create dedicated focus, collaboration, and support zones. Keep main aisles 1.2–1.5 m wide and ensure emergency exits are clear.

Record room dimensions, windows, doors, power locations and HVAC registers. Use simple grid paper or digital floorplanner tools.

Allocate spaces for heads-down work, meeting rooms, open collaboration, and quiet booths. Consider acoustics and natural light.

Arrange desks and storage to keep circulation efficient; leave space for adjustable desks to move and for chair clearance.
