We don’t have walls to put pods against. Can they stand alone in the center of a large open office?
Yes, absolutely. Most office pods are designed as freestanding, self-supporting structures that can float anywhere in an open floor plan. Here's what to know:
| Consideration | Details |
|---|---|
| Placement Flexibility | Pods don't need wall support—they work as standalone islands. |
| Door Design | Sliding doors are great for tight spaces and high-traffic areas. |
| Electrical Access | Place within 5-6 feet of a standard outlet for power. |
| Traffic Flow | Leave walkways around pods for easy access and fire safety. |
| Visual Impact | Glass panels or windows help pods feel open even when centrally placed. |
Meet&Co's Pro Tip: Central placement actually works well—pods become visible, bookable resources that employees can easily see and use.
