The AXIS - Workstation Clusters

AXIS:
WORKSTATION CLUSTERS * GSA CONTRACT * CUSTOMS AND SPECIALS

AXIS clusters are systems furniture workstations arranged around a central, pre-wired core. Phone, data, and communications wiring for up to six workstations is conveniently routed through one location. This allows you to use less floor space, accommodate more people, and gain more work area per person than conventional desks.

The AXIS work surface is contoured around the user, bringing everything from paper clips to printouts within easy reach. AXIS workstation clusters are available in full size 12' or 9' "reduced footprint" diameters, to accommodate from 2-6 individuals. Fit AXIS to your specific needs by choosing from a variety of standard panel heights, finishes, and accessories, or Packard can make custom modifications as needed. AXIS is available on Federal GSA Contract

Six Workstations vs.      For Desks

Use Less Floor Space
AXIS comfortably seats six people in the same space as four using
conventional 30" x 60" desk groupings. A 43% space gain.

EFFICIENT:

The heart of the AXIS cluster is a pre-wired 2' diameter steel core. Packard's standard 60" wide steel partition attaches to the core via a spring-loaded stud and key slot. This means that no matter what AXIS configuration you choose - 6 stations, 5 stations, etc. - the overall footprint diameter is always 12'. The footprint does not shrink or grow as you change the number of workstations attached to the core.

Maximize space savings with the 3- or 6-station AXIS cluster; maximize individual work area with the 2- or 4- station AXIS.
