um, jacob is saying 30-40 for a 5k square ft space. dusty seems to be suggesting 23 slots in a 1000 sqr ft space.
Julie is right, 100 sqr ft per person is reasonable, that is a 10x10 box, so with space for chairs, fesks file cabinets, common space between cubes or isles or whatever.... it makes sense. >From experience, i have worked in smaller spaces, but would not really want to, and if you want to keep people around, i would probably try to stick as close to the 100 sqr ft as possible. This doesn't mean that each person gets a 10 x 10 plot of floor space, but if you space in 1000 sqr ft, i'm not sure how you could accommodate more than 10 ro 15 people comfortable when you account for the "common" space of isles and printer table, garbage cans, mail boxes, etc...
