What is the current use of this space? What else might it be used for in the future? How might furniture be rearranged?

TIP: For greater flexibility at minimal cost, add more Power Hubs and connect shorter Powertracs.

Power Hubs = access points for power devices

TIP: Visualize how your space might adapt and evolve over time.
