Abstract

A work station suitable for mounting electrical, communication and computer equipment has a hollow support beam capable of supporting work surfaces and equipment on one side of the beam. Legs mount the beam in a horizontal position above a floor. Support brackets are detachably connected to a side of the beam and work surface members are mounted on these brackets. A support wall is detachably mounted on top of the beam and this wall has rigid metal side panels with rails for attaching shelving and other devices. Each support bracket has an arm supporting section extending perpendicular to the length of the bracket and an upwardly and forwardly extending front section connected to the forward position. The work surface members are connected to this front section.
