Communications Center Layout

[mm911]

We are potentially going to be moved/merged with the SO into a Joint 911 Center. Having more than double the space, and new furniture, I was wondering if anyone would mind posting pictures, graphs, or websites of potential floor layout plans. We are hoping to have 4 working stations with 1 administration station. Even if your comm center is much larger, I would still like to see what suggestions for layouts are.

Thank you.

Our new consolodated center is about 6 months from completion. We are bringing 3 city PD centers together with the county 911 center. The final plan calls for 8 work stations and two supervisor offices with redundant equipment in them for two additional stations if needed.

The 8 stations will be configured in two 4-unit circles with the dispatchers facing each other. The consoles will be from Evans Consoles (http://www.evansonline.com).

GOOD LUCK!

I would recommend against facing consoles towards one another, that will make communicating wih your co-workers nearly impossible unless you stand up everytime to talk to them. I would suggest against a wall or in a horseshoe shape. This facilitates better in house communication.
