Noise

Workstation layout should be configured to suit the work pattern of each individual employee and the team structure. People who work predominantly in a ‘processing’ mode need to be screened from outside disturbances. These functions are best located with work surfaces against acoustic dividers.

Most people, however, work in a combination of modes; concentrated, creative and communicative. It is therefore appropriate to provide an employee with one work surface that faces a divider, screen or wall, giving isolation from noise, and a second free-standing work surface that allows easy communication.
