Circulation from the allocation for the building must be used to
provide sufficient space for a functional unit common space. Some of
those who prepare project authorizations allow for this and shift space
from circulation to unit commons when preparing the space allocation
worksheet.

\ Panel-based systems furniture workstations are typically
used in open offices, although metal desk-based furniture
workstations may be used in small open offices often included in
OMS buildings. Workstations for open offices may be configured for
individual workstations, groups or clusters of workstations, or a
combination of individual and group workstations. Additional counters
or furniture may be required to accommodate Tenants' equipment,
such as printers, coffeemakers, and similar items (these are not to be
powered from the panel-based systems furniture or the metal desk-
based furniture). The Tenants should be asked to provide information
on their other equipment and space needs. Contact Louisville District,
Corps of Engineers for latest information on Unit Commons
workstation requirements. /1/
4.2.3.3 In addition to the files provided in the workstations, the
Design Agency should try to provide sufficient space for common-use
file cabinets in most unit commons.
