How do you plan desks efficiently in a C-shaped or U-shaped office floor plan?

C-shaped and U-shaped floor plans have the advantage of perimeter wall space and interior windows on multiple exposures, but the inner courtyard or atrium creates a dead zone that must be managed. Best practices: line the outer perimeter with private offices or higher-panel workstations that benefit from exterior windows; place open-plan desks in the interior zones; position conference rooms in the corners of the C or U where they don't consume exterior window real estate; and use the inner-facing sides of the C for collaboration and breakout zones.
