\ Panel-based systems furniture workstations are typically used in open
offices, although metal desk-based furniture workstations may be used in small open
offices often included in OMS buildings. Workstations for open offices may be
configured for individual workstations, groups or clusters of workstations, or a
combination of individual and group workstations. Additional counters or furniture may
be required to accommodate Tenants equipment, such as printers, coffee makers, and
similar items (these are not to be powered from the panel-based systems furniture or
the metal desk-based furniture). The Tenants should be asked to provide information on
their other equipment and space needs. Contact Louisville District, Corps of Engineers
for latest information on Unit Commons workstation requirements. /1/

try to provide sufficient space for common-use file cabinets in most unit commons.
