According to a recent Legrand survey conducted online by The Harris Poll, nearly half of office workers (46%) charge devices more than one time per day at work, with nearly one quarter (24%) stating they do so 3 or more times per day. Accommodating this high demand for power and charging options means specificers, designers and architects need solutions outside of just traditional wall receptacles, especially with the rise of open floor plans.
The open-space floor plan is a concept that, for many, immediately connotes images of modern, airy offices catering to ingenuity and collaboration. And this is with good reason—many companies have ditched claustrophobic cubicles and private offices in favor of organically organized structures filled with glass-wall meeting rooms and “huddle spaces” designed to galvanize creativity. Legrand provides the perfect solutions for open-space floor plans with a variety of power and A/V products that make wiring in an open office a breeze. Specificers, designers and architects can now efficiently and easily provide power through any open office, no matter how expansive or unconventional the layout.
