Office Cubicles

A modern office is never complete without a durable set of cubicles on its floors. With office cubicles, you can sleep easy knowing that you don't have to construct a separate office each time a new hire puts pen to paper. Instead, you can quickly find room for any fresh employees within your existing set of desks.

How Many Office Cubicles Do I Need?

One of the most common questions companies have is how many office cubicles they will need in their space. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer as the number of cubicles in your office will likely depend on various factors. However, in most cases, the size of your company and the level of collaboration in your office will play the biggest role in how many cubicles you have, and their configurations.

For instance, a smaller company with a high degree of focus on individual tasks may benefit from a smaller set of 2-person cubicles that provide enough privacy and personal freedom for employees to carry out their day-to-day activities without distractions. Meanwhile, larger companies with bigger teams that collaborate often will likely choose longer cubicles, and may even go for a 16-person configuration depending on the size of their team.

However, as a rule of thumb, you should always leave room for more when picking out cubicles for your office. Keep it in mind that teams grow and shrink over time, and the last thing any company wants is to have an 8-person cubicle for a team that needs 9 people. So, be sure to add a few more tables than your current headcount to ensure you do not end up in this situation. Fortunately, cubicles are also easy to reconfigure or extend, so having to accommodate more staff is not the end of the world.

What are the Types of Office Cubicles?

There are various types of office cubicles available and the types of cubicle desks you choose will likely depend on the needs of your office. There is also no catch-all approach, so you are free to choose different types of configurations for various parts of your office and switch desk types for separate teams.

1. Straight Cubicle: This is the traditional design where the desks are attached in a row. The simplicity of this design makes it easy to work with as you don't have to worry too hard about fitting it in your office as its rectangular layout makes it easy to place in any space that is wide enough. This cubicle style is also tremendously modular, so you can always add extra cubicles to your setup if you reach your maximum capacity.

2. L-Shaped Cubicles: This type of cubicle has two desks joined at the edges to create a distinct L-shape. This design is more modern than other styles, as the extra desk provides enough space to fit any additional tasks that your staff may work on during the day. However, this often comes at a price as the L-shaped cubicle takes up more floor space than a straight cubicle. You can also merge this cubicle with others to create custom designs, such as a T-shaped or U-shaped cubicle.

Keeping Your Cubicles Private With Partitions

While cubicles undoubtedly help with team bonding and building relationships between staff, this collaboration often comes at the cost of privacy. The classic cubicle only had little partitions, which meant that most staff had the feeling of being watched, even if this was not the case. Classic cubicles also mean that staff cannot carry out modern tasks, such as handling virtual video calls, within their cubicle.

Fortunately, modern cubicles have come a long way since then, solving many of these problems by providing desks with opaque partitions. These partitions block out each individual from the next person, reducing distractions and keeping staff focused on their daily activities. You may also want to purchase a mobile partition that staff can lend whenever they need greater isolation, like during a video call.

These cubicle walls can also help with soundproofing and reducing distractions from other staff. So, if your cubicles are going to be used in busy environments like call centers, choosing desks with privacy walls will go a long way in boosting customer satisfaction and staff productivity.
