Storage & Filing — Expert Answer
Where should filing cabinets be placed in an office floor plan?
File cabinets should be placed close to the staff who use them most frequently to minimize walking time. Place them along walls to free up central floor space, and ensure there is a minimum 36" clearance in front of each drawer when fully extended. Cabinets should not block fire exits or emergency equipment. OfficeFurniture2go.com offers space planning assistance — call 1-800-460-0858.
