Hybrid office: shared positions, lockers and personal storage

In a hybrid office with shared workstations, personal storage has to leave the desk and go to a locker. The rule that works best is one locker for each person who comes regularly, located between the entrance and the stations, and shared desks without drawers. Lockers are counted by people and not by positions, so there is almost always a need for more lockers than desks.

What changes in storage when seats are shared?

In a traditional office, each person has their desk and their drawer with their things. With shared positions that is broken: today's position is not tomorrow's, and the drawer under the desk is left with someone else's things. Four things change:

1. The personal save is separated from the positionand goes to lockers, in its own area.
2. The post is clean at the end of the day: without drawers, the cover is left empty.
3. The file becomes the team's, in shared libraries and credenzas.
4. Storage becomes part of the plant: Lockers and tall libraries mark the boundary between zones.

How many lockers do you need?

There is no universal figure, but there is a way to count:

• One per person with regular attendance(two or more days a week), even if you don't come every day. The locker stores what you don't want to take and bring.
• An unassigned groupfor visits and occasional assistance, which is used and emptied the same day.
• Wardrobe lockersfor coats, helmets and large bags, depending on how many people arrive by bicycle or motorcycle.
• Room to grow: Adding a body of lockers later is simple if the wall was left free on the floor.

Peak hour occupancy in a normal week gives the number of shared positions; people with regular attendance give the number of lockers. They are two different figures, and the typical mistake is to buy lockers with the first one.
