Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer

How do you plan desk space for an office where staff work rotating shifts?

Rotating shift offices need desk space planning that assumes no personal permanence: all workstations must be unassigned and fully equipped for any arriving shift member; lockers or mobile pedestals for personal storage between shifts; a clean-desk policy enforced between shifts; ergonomically adjustable chairs and (ideally) height-adjustable desks to accommodate different users without leaving adjustments for the next person to fix. Shift handover areas — a surface for briefings between outgoing and incoming shifts — should be built into the floor plan.
