I'll third the "no back to the door" sentiment. Here, we have a row of cubes, and I have the end one. I had my cube reconfigured so that mine doesn't open up to the row. It opens up to the wall/windows. There are about 2 people that actually walk between my cube and the wall, and it's a rare occurrence that they do. Most people come from the row side, and my work space is situation so that I can see the opening where people "show up" without moving my head (at least being able to see them peripherally).
We all have a "visitor" chair in our cubes, for impromptu meetings or gab sessions. And, we have a tall filing cabinet with integrated narrow "locker" for our coats. (Although I don't use my locker because of the way I reconfigured. I put feng shui above locker potential, essentially. We have lights built into the undersides of our top-level cabinets, which is really nice for when you have reading to do. I also have 2 levels of workspace - a lower level for my 'puter (adjusted for my keyboard needs) and a higher level for when I'm reading/writing. Anything you can do to make the cubes customizable is great, because you'll find that different people like different things. On 8/21/07, Adam Churvis wrote: > Great info, Shawna and Ian.
