Solidman & BlockOutBabe

Hey Solidman, I’ve been sketching out the new office layout and I see a chance to cut the walk to the break room by about 12%—just a quick shortcut through the storage area. How do you feel about re‑routing that way to keep the flow clean and efficient?
Solidman
I see where you’re coming from, but the storage area’s meant for equipment, not traffic. If we route people through there we’ll end up with a cluttered walk‑way, and any dropped tools could become a hazard. Let’s keep the official route and focus on tightening the layout elsewhere. That way we stay safe and efficient.

Got it, safety first—no accidental tool‑mashup. We can keep the main corridor intact but give the storage a dedicated “drop zone” with a small partition, then carve a clear path that won’t interfere with the equipment flow. I’ll run a quick prototype with foam cubes to see how the new choke point feels and make sure the walk‑way stays clean. That way we keep the flow optimal without turning the room into a hazard zone.

Sounds solid. Just keep the partition short enough not to block visibility or ventilation, and double‑check that the prototype stays within the 90‑degree turnaround rule. Once we measure the distances, we can lock it in.

Sure thing, I’ll keep the partition slim so the line of sight and airflow stay clear, and I’ll run the prototype against the 90‑degree turn rule—no sharp corners that could snag the walk. I’ll measure everything and we’ll lock it in once it checks out. Let's keep that flow tight and safe.
Solidman
Good plan. Once you’ve got the measurements, just double‑check the load limits on that partition and confirm the airflow isn’t blocked. Then we’ll put it in the schedule. Keep me posted on the numbers.
BlockOutBabe
Got the numbers—partition width 0.5 m, load limit 120 kg, airflow still 20 % higher than baseline, all within the 90‑degree rule. I’ll put it in the schedule now. Keep the floor plan on standby for the final tweak.
