Planning of an Office
In my earlier articles, we discussed how to incorporate various requirements that are essential in any office after which we discussed some important design factors to be considered in an Office Design. So lets group them as design considerations.
Apart from design considerations, the planning system is also of great importance which facilitates the easy and smooth functioning of an office. For successful office planning, grouping and interconnection will facilitate easy movement, save time in traffic and locating a thing and help reduce the excess staff.
Architects and Designers have established two major types of Office Systems over a period of time. The main bulk of planning for any office is the arrangement of work space for the medium level personnel.
