kinds of computers, communication equipment, and user interface devices
(ex. Keyboards, mice, etc.).
The console is to be a design that is completely modular, totally
interchangeable and easily reconfigured by the user. There are to be
different frame widths (24”, 30”, 36”, 48”, 60” and 72”) that are standard.
There are 90-degree corners along with wedge designs that allow for
Convex and Concave layouts (they are to be available in 30, 45 and 60-
degrees). Standard height of the console is 43”. All units are bolted
together allowing total design flexibility.
The frames are constructed in such a manor as to allow back-to-back
configurations in straight, convex, and concave layouts. The frame itself
remains the center spine for the back-to-back work surfaces with access
to cable management from either side of the frame’s front and the top.
There are numerous options such as peninsulas, binder storage, and
storage cabinets.
1.3 The consoles shall accommodate a variety of computers,
communication equipment, CRT or Flat Panel displays and operator
interface devices. The design of the consoles should also satisfy the

Frames are designed to allow for mounting of accessories such as Flat
Panel Monitor mounts utilizing slat wall that can be used along with
monitor mounting on work surfaces. The frames are designed to allow for
other accessories such as shelving, white boards, light mounts, and desk
top management storage products.
All frame modules are equipped with leveling feet to insure uniformity and
tight fit.
6.2 Storage -
A storage area is provided below the work surface that allows for a
number of different storage accessories. These accessories are to
be CPU Storage Swing Out doors and/ or CPU Storage Cabinets
for CPU storage with ventilation and access. The storage cabinets
should also allow for rack mount capability if required without
modification to the cabinet.
