Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer

How do you plan traffic flow in an office with multiple desks?

Q: How do you plan traffic flow in an office with multiple desks?

Traffic flow planning starts with identifying primary circulation paths (the routes people use most often) and secondary paths (occasional access). Primary paths should be at least 44" wide to allow two people to pass. Secondary paths serving single-user areas require 36" minimum. Avoid routing primary circulation past the open side of a desk — it creates distraction and reduces privacy.
