Todays Dynamic Planning ModelIn the modern workplace, one-size- ts-all, single-task unctions are behind us. As a result, the o cerequires a dimensional, dynamic planning model that supports a broader range o activities than everbe ore. Todays o ce requires topography, creating a rhythm that is physically supportive o thework, and a visual diversity that stimulates the work orce. The need is to balance the open with theenclosed, the collaborative with the personal. And the desire is to have all o this coexist in a holisticmodel that is in sync with business today.

Importantly, contemporary planning solutions are not based solely on low vistas. At any height, asingle horizon line is monotonousmultiple sight lines make the workplace more dynamic andvisually interesting. Companies seek a variety o settings to serve the variety o work that occurs.While o ering variety, that choice must be managed within a de ned product mix that scalesand makes managing acilities easier. A tightly managed toolkit can acilitate workplace e ciencywhile enhancing employee e ectiveness.

A comprehensive storage program has become a key element in this toolkit, helping to osteran integrated workplace. Beyond accommodating work materials, displaying personal e ects, andstoring shoes, coats, and bags, a smart storage system helps defne space.

Companies seek a varietyo settings to serve the

Storage plays an important role in

zoning the workplace as well as

enlivening the o ce landscape. In the

open plan, reestanding storage walls

can de ne departments, meeting areas

or in ormal work areas. Medium height

storage can delineate work groups

or team areas with seated privacy,

while lower storage can serve counter

height work.

In the private o ce, tall, shallow

workwalls utilize the vertical dimension

e ciently while minimizing the foor area

required. Lower credenzas can support

the storage needs o con erence rooms

and executive o ces.

Template

: A New Tool or Workplace PlanningCreated by Antenna Design with David Noel, the Template Storage System o ers a new tool oro ce planning. Template integrates seamlessly into the workplace, providing both individual andgroup environments with an endless array o planning and aesthetic options.

Template Core Planning de nes space in the open landscape, identi ying work zones whilesupporting the storage needs o the individual or team. Whether in the open plan or private o ce,Template Perimeter Planning enhances storage on the workspace periphery.

With its clean lines and a compact orm, Template can serve as an alternative to traditional systemsurniture. Template combines the unction o panels and individual storage components les,pedestals, overhead storage, shelves and storage cabinetsinto one cost-e ective workplacesolution that is:

Simple Relying on a small number o modular components, Template is easy to speci y, install,and recon gure.

E fcient With a compact ootprint and minimal parts, Template can save both space and money.

Versatile A sturdy steel construction and endless design options allow Template to go anywhererom a supporting element in a small workstation to a space-de ning border on a vast foor plate.

Template is environmentally responsible in materials and manu acturing, is GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certi ed , and has been rated Sustainable Gold by the SMaRT Consensus SustainableProduct Standard.

Template can be easily tailored to the vision, culture, and physical space o any organization.Whatever the need, Template Planning Ideas is designed to help you think beyond the box.

Simple. E cient. Versatile.

Solid Construction

Template keeps it simple. Consistent, 15"-deep planning minimizes Templates ootprint whilestill providing ample room or binder and le storage.

Five key components come together to create the rigid shell structure or Template. Every

component plays an important role. Steel end and mid panels de ne the height o storageunits and supply the strength and eatures to mount drawers, shelves, doors and powercomponents. Bases de ne the width o each unit and also serve as the conduit or routingpower and communications cables laterally. The top spans one or more units, and partial or ullbacks complete the structure.

Over 1000 combinations o open and enclosed storage insertson one or both aces o Template are available to suit nearly anyworkplace requirement.

Power Module P i g I sigh

Every Template unit comes with the

ability to run electrical and data cables

through the base. Template utilizes a

simple 2-circuit electrical system that

is easy to speci y, install, and access.

As outlined in this plan view o a

Template storage wall, most electrical

needs can be met through our basic

components:

Desk-Height Power/

Communications Module

Provides user access just above

or below the worksur ace to basic

power, communications, iPod docks,

or USB hubs.

Base Power Block Serves as the

hub o the entire electrical system.

With our connection points, power

passes through to power jumpers or

a desk-height power module.

Base Conduit Jumper

Trans ers power rom one Template

base to another.

Base In eed Brings power or bothcircuits rom the building power supply

through a Template end panel.

Ideas or Staying Connected

Template helps employees stay connected in every sense o the term. In todays ast moving organizations, pro essionalsneed to quickly plug in. Template provides users easy access toelectrical, data, USB hubs, and even optional iPod docks, all

just above or below worksur ace height.

Saving space, gaining space

Unlike traditional panel system planning, Template works both as storage and as spacedivider. So instead o inserting storage inside a panel surround or under a worksur ace,

Template becomes a key part o the workstation. By consolidating the storage capacity o apedestal, a le, and overhead storage cabinets within a dedicated Template storage zone,the work sur ace can unction as intended: an open place to do work.

Template storage-based planning can save as much as 10% o foor space compared totypical panel-based planning, while providing equivalent worksur ace area and storagevolume, as the example below shows.

Conventional Planning

A Versatile Kit o Parts

Within Templates uni orm, 15"-deep ootprint, an array o glass, veneer, abric, laminateand painted steel choices create options or every aesthetic and price point. As a storagesystem, components can be added or removedensuring that Template can respond tothe ever-changing needs o the modern workplace.

Sliding Doors

Available in painted metal or tempered acid etched

glass, sliding doors conserve real estate becausethey dont require the clearance o swing-open doors.

Painted or glass doors can be speci ed with a lock.

Multiple Heights

Template spans 8 standard heights, rom 22" to a nominal 78"-high.

Easily Adjustable

Shelves

Readily adjustable in

1" increments, shelves

can be subdivided into

organizational cubbies

by adding vertical

dividers. Available in

either painted steel or

veneer, shelves are

nominally 13"-deep

and provide a "

space in the back or

wire management.

Worksur ace Shelves Available in laminate

or veneer, 1 1 / 4"-thick

worksur ace shelves

create planning and

visual consistency

between Template and

systems worksur aces.

Hinged Doors

Available in painted steel or veneer, hinged

doors provide a ne urniture aesthetic or

enclosed storage. Locking option available.

Versatile DrawersDrawers can be placedunder worksur ace heightin widths rom 18" to 48"wide. Available in box/ box, le/ le or 2 box/ le combinations. Boxdrawes hold personalitems, while le drawerscan support side-to-side letter-sized ling orront-to-back letter/legalling. Fronts are available

in either painted steel orveneer nishes, with orwithout locks.

Tight, Architectural Frame

Regardless o storage unit width, a single

vertical panel divides each section. Shelvesand end panels are consistently 1" thick.

Inside Back Inserts

For visual impact, abric or veneer inserts can be speci ed against the inside

o a back, directly behind shelves and drawers. Alternatively, an opening can

be created to create a visual pass-through to the other side.

Ideas or Focused and Collaborative Work

In a recent Knoll study, surveyed organizations recognized group work as more importantto their businesses success than ocused, individual work. Yet, the same participantsacknowledged that their own spaces did not acilitate group work as well as they should.

Template helps workers shi t rom ocused to team work, and back again, by creating an o ce

landscape that supports todays multiple modes o work.

P i g I sigh

Template provides more than

1,000 possible vertical con gurations

to create a truly customized workspaceexperience. This layout provides

ocused work areas as well as a space

or shared storage and collaboration.

Alternatively, the centrally located

pass-through area could be enclosed,

providing additional privacy or

individuals or teams. Perpendicular

desktops mount directly to Template

shelves, extending worksur ace

depths into the Template storage unit

Ideas or Focused Work

Multiple horizons o er varying levels o enclosure and privacy, but lower panels alone do notcreate a collaborative workspace. Rather, the interplay o urniture, technology and peopledetermines o ce productivity. Shared Template storage walls not only provide privacy betweenpanel-delineated work areas, but also consolidate les, cabinets, and overhead storage into one

space-e cient unit.
