Semipublic Office Space. These areas of the FSC house the office
space for relocation assistance, transition assistance, and employment support
programs/services. They are distinguished as semipublic for two reasons: One, they
are directly adjacent to public spaces such as the Lobby or the Computer Resource and
Information Lab, and two, the programs offered out of these offices require a more
casual and impromptu interaction with customers than in the Private Program Office
Space. Design these offices to accommodate general staff office functions as well as
customer interaction and personalized discussions. These office spaces may act in
support of the Computer Resource and Information Lab.
