Abstract
A work station particularly adapted for use in a uniform open floor plan. The work station has a horizontal work surface having a front edge and a rear edge, a support member for supporting the horizontal work surface, a first trough located in an area beneath the horizontal work surface, and a second trough at a location displaced vertically below the first trough whereby the first and the second troughs define separate substantially horizontal passageways for the laying-in of cabling. In a further aspect, there is provided an office furniture system comprising a plurality of like work station modules aligned along a linearly extending course, each work station module occupying substantially the same area. Each work station module comprises a closed side along the linearly extending course, an open side opposite the closed side, a horizontal work surface, a support member connected to and supporting the horizontal work surface, a first trough parallel to the linearly extending course, a second trough at a location displaced vertically below the first trough and parallel to the linearly extending course so that the first and the second troughs define separate substantially horizont…
