| Please define "cover". Are you saying they are putting up walls directly in
front of the windows, thereby blocking them OR that the cubes are simply
butted up to the window so that the owner of the cube gets a great view and
nobody else does?

| There are some areas in our current facility that have cube partitions
directly against the wall (window). This, I believe, has been
recognized by facilities as not fully utilizing available space/light
/etc. and, though there won't be any changes to the current floorplan,
it has been taken into consideration for the new facility currently
being developed.
In other words, I do not believe this is a corporate standard.

| 457.3 | The first five feet, above my line of vision | BMT::COMAROW | Resource wait state | Thu Feb 04 1988 08:37 | 9 |
| The cubicles are placed in such a way as to cover up the first 5
feet of outside windows. I'm told that this is the corporate standard
at this point.
I think it is absurd. Many studies indicate the importance of natural
lighting to reduce the amount and eliminate views seems wrong.
Does anyone know where to actually bring this up? Not a note file
but someone with the power to actually discuss this issue.

I would ask the facilities manager where his directive came from, and start
climbing... Covering the windows sounds very anti-productive to me! Are you
on the first floor? Can they possibly be worried about corporate spies peeking
in the windows?

| Actually, my cubicle on Wall Street is on the 13th floor.

| 457.6 | Fitup Guidelines | NIPA::JARRETT | | Thu Feb 04 1988 13:31 | 13 |
| Having been the program manager that was responsible for the
construction and fitup of the CX03 facility in Colo Spngs, the corporate
quideline for interior cubicle placement was that all perimeter
windows would *not* be obstructed by cubicle partitians. Normally,
a perimeter aisleway of at least 4 ft width is constructed in front
of the windows.
Of course is applies to new construction, lease fitup may have
different quidelines.

| For what it's worth when I was in Boxboro (that's in Mass for anyone who never
heard of it before), I had a window office and I can assure you the walls (which
were put up less than a year ago) did NOT cover the windows. In fact I used the
sill as a shelf. So if someone in your building thinks otherwise, at least
point him/her to BXB.

| 457.8 | lkg, zk, bxb have aisles | POLICY::BRADLEY | Chuck Bradley | Mon Feb 08 1988 07:59 | 10 |
| the two buildings at lkg have an aisle in front of the windows.
the two buildings at bxb have an aisle in front of the windows.
the three buildings at zk have an aisle in front of the windows.
that is a sample of about 3000 cubes.
some offices in ML go up to the windows. a few have furniture in front of
the window, but most do not.

| 457.9 | what's the point? | NETMAN::SEGER | this space intentionally left blank | Mon Feb 08 1988 08:32 | 6 |
| > the two buildings at bxb have an aisle in front of the windows.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I agree that MANY wqindows at BXB have
aisles between then and the windows but certainly not ALL of them.

on this?

| 457.12 | Do you have a local "plant engineer"? | DR::BLINN | He's not a real Doctor.. | Mon Feb 22 1988 13:48 | 15 |
| If there is a corporate policy, then somewhere there's a person
who made the policy. That person is clearly the decision maker.
There's doesn't appear to be a "corporate" plant engineering
office, at least, not that's listed in the "classified" part
of the Digital Telephone Directory.
If you really want to "work" this, start up your management
chain, and don't take "NO" for an answer until you find the
person who made the decision.
Clearly, if there is a corporate policy, it is NOT uniformly
or widely implemented.
