Abstract:
A system for forming individual work areas within an open area. The system includes a spine wall extending vertically from a surface of the open area, a first work surface extends continuously and uninterrupted along one side of the spine wall and having a length substantially equal to a length of the spine wall. The work surface is positioned to extend substantially perpendicular to the spine wall. A continuous data and power raceway are attached to the bottom of the work surface. A divider wall is positioned atop the first work surface and releasably connected to the spine wall at any point along the length thereof for forming cubicles of desired size. A second work surface may be positioned on an opposite side of the spine wall. End walls are positioned on opposite ends of the spine wall and extending perpendicular to the spine wall for providing additional support to the system. A plurality of dividing walls may be releasably connected to the spine wall at any point along the length thereof for forming a plurality of cubicles of desired size on either side thereof. An extension wall may be releasably connected to a respective dividing wall for further defining an area of a cubicle. The extension wall may also include a work surface extending therefrom. The extension wall may also include a compartment and a retractable screen for selectively enclosing a cubicle area formed by the system. The extension wall, dividing walls and spine walls are able to house wires and cables for providing data signals and power to devices within the cubicles formed by the system. Additionally, the work surfaces do not need to be dismantled for changing the size of cubicles formed by the system. Additionally, a telescopically length adjustable cabinet may be releasably secured to the spine wall and adjusted to fit within a cubicle of any desired size.
