While this project was completed pre-COVID-19, these desk configurations with the six-foot width and privacy panels remain within CDC guidelines. The benching system introduced a modular kit of parts with varying return sizes and mobile tables that flex to support the various workstyles of staff-from nomadic touchdown desks to extended workstations that support full-size plan layouts.
The new rollout incorporated a benching system, offering a range of desk sizes all six-feet wide, with 50- inch-high front fabric privacy panels. The previous design standard consisted of seven-and-a-half-foot by seven-and-a-half-foot low-wall cubicles with an eight-inch top glass panel yielding 58-inch-high cubicle walls.
