Lockers & Personal Storage — Expert Answer
What is the best time in a new office fit-out project to plan and order lockers?
Lockers should be specified during the schematic design phase (the same time as workstations and major furniture) so that the locker room or locker alcove space is properly dimensioned in the floor plan. Ordering during design development (8–12 weeks before move-in) is typical for in-stock standard configurations. If you are ordering custom-color or special-configuration lockers, allow 12–16 weeks from order to installation. Coordinate locker installation with the electrical contractor if electronic locks require hardwired power or network drops. Locker bases may require the flooring contractor to leave an unfinished area, then return to complete flooring after lockers are set.
