General Business Area
A general business area is where the main activity is routine office
work or similar activity that may depend upon the equipment
installed in the area. People may work at a work station, and
several work stations may be installed in the area. Medium-size
data processing equipment may also be installed in the area, but
not usually in the immediate vicinity of the work stations.
Examples of general business areas are open plan areas,
administrative or bookkeeping offices, word processing and typing
centers, display station or printer areas, laboratory rooms, and
customer service work stations (bank teller stations, hotel or motel
lobbies, retail point-of-sale stations, telephone operator rooms, and
transportation display station areas).
Quiet Office Area
A quiet office area is where a high degree of mental concentration
or creativity is required. Examples of quiet office areas are offices
of business professionals, offices for scientific work, private offices,
system and program development departments, libraries,
classrooms, conference and meeting rooms, hospital operating
rooms, medical treatment rooms, and private residences.
