Room layout task

Use the room dimensions illustrated here. You can either print this or make your own. If you make your own take care to get the dimensions right!

room dimensions (click to enlarge)

There are three windows shown by the double grey lines and two doors.

9 people will be based in this room. One is a secretary who has an L shaped work station shown above (that's not necessarily where it goes!). The others have normal desks. There will be a table for printer and copying equipment and an area where they can keep refreshments and also make tea, coffee as well as a tall cupboard which shouldn't be placed in front of a window. Each person has a computer which needs a mains cable and also an internet cable.

table 2m x 2m

desk 2m x 1m

refreshment area 2.5m x 2.5m

secretary workstation 2.5m x 2.1m

tall cupboard 3m x 2m (with doors open)

You can either use the images here which can be copied and placed on your room layout or draw your own. If you draw your own then make sure the dimensions are correct and still in proportion to the room layout.

Position all the items required for the room so that staff can work safely and easily access their desks. Remember to leave space for chairs to move away from desks, for doors to be opened safely without knocking people or furniture and generally work safely. No cables should run across the floor unless they can go under or behind furniture. You should include lines on your drawing to show where these cables would run and show where you suggest electrical sockets are positioned (which must be on walls).
