OPEN HUDDLE

• Provide clear path of travel of 48” (122cm) between table edges and walls with no obstacles to allow free movement of mobility devices
• In all other areas, 36" (92cm) min. width, which may be reduced to 32" (81cm) for lengths not exceeding 48" (122cm)
• Ensure furniture is not blocking the path of travel for people with mobility devices or people with low vision

Walls

• (x1) min. full-height not required. Include working walls (whiteboards or pin-up space)
• Rubber base (or equivalent) is typical to match adjacent open workspace. Substitutions can be made for a brand or feature wall.

Floors

• Use cleanable, durable table finishes that avoid glare 
• Avoid heavily patterned flooring or products that can cause glare. Provide contrast for visual clarity 
• Provide transition edges for any freestanding rugs or mats to reduce tripping hazard 

Furniture

• A variety of seating to accommodate all body sizes and types
• No booths or seating areas should be on platforms that exclude people with mobility devices (a platform with a ramp is okay)
• Wheelchair users should have a seating position so they are out of the circulation path
• Provide choices in furniture that accommodate people with different body sizes and mobility. Tall tables should not be the only option, nor should low lounge chairs (may be difficult to get in and out of)
• Provide 30% min. of regular table height between 31"-34" (79cm-86cm), with a clear knee space at least 28" (71cm)
• Individuals can pull up to tables without obstruction below the surface 

Accessories

• OPTIONAL: Writable surfaces: designed for use by full range of body types and from seated to standing

Booth

• Seat 2-6 people
• (x2) booths are preferred in open huddles
• Proportions: Use the required dimensions or approve variances with the design team

1. Seating: 18” (46cm) max. depth
2. Table: 36” x 48” (92cm x 122cm) 
3. Table legs: 19” (48cm) min. inboard from the table edge to allow people using mobility devices to work comfortably
4. Open knee space: 27” (69cm) min. height
5. Low profile wall mount 4” (10cm) max.

• Avoid separation panels between booths or ceiling enclosure, these are more costly and give a false sense of privacy
• Do not install booths on raised platforms
• At least one booth should be accessible for use by people with mobility assistive technology (wheelchair, scooter). The mobility device should be able to pull up without reducing the primary circulation path width, which may require the table edge to be setback from the walls on each side of the booth. Provide a 36” x 48” (92cm x 122cm) clear floor space
• Clearances: 

1. Allow someone using a mobility device to pull up without reducing the primary circulation path width. 27" (68.5cm) high knee clearance and a clear floor space on one side of at least 32" x 54" (81.5cm x 137cm). This may require the table edge to be setback from the walls on each side of the booth
2. Table legs should be at least 19” (48cm) inboard from the table edge to allow people using mobility devices to work comfortably

• For enclosed booths: Seal gaps for acoustics
• Angled back is preferred, but not required
• Durable, cleanable seating materials

• Avoid reverberation and noise disrupting adjacent open workspace. Impact sound (footsteps, doors closing, etc.) shouldn’t be a distraction to adjacent spaces. Supports transition from a quiet, focused area to more energetic spaces
• Noise criteria (NC): 40-45 dBA

• Ensure that monitors, accessories, shelves, etc. do not protrude more than 4” (10cm) from the wall; otherwise, provide a credenza
• Ensure that meeting software has accessibility features for presentations (e.g. closed captioning, audio explanation for images) 

Outlets

• Above desk electrical outlet(s) at accessible heights for laptop and peripheral charging
• (x1) electrical outlet behind display
• If booths are provided, provide (x1) above table per booth

Lighting

• Lighting and other controls should be mounted between 44”-48” (112cm-122cm)
• 30-40 FC (323-430 LUX). Calibrate on-site within the range listed
• Controls: User dimmable with vacancy sensor
• If used, hang suspended fixtures at 8’ (2.4m) min. above the floor and 18” (46cm) min. below the ceiling
• Lamps or feature lights to define the space or add character

• See Wayfinding section
• ID sign only if the Open Huddle is assigned as a team home
• Often a good opportunity for placemaking

• All painted elements should be easy to clean and resistant to food spills or normal wear.  Low VOC paints should be used whenever possible.
• Wallpaper should be non-vinyl wall covering such as DreamScape Terralon.
• Furniture painted with brand colors should be powdercoated for durability.
• Custom furniture or upholstery should follow CAL 133 or other local flammability standards 
• Standard window film is 3M Fasara Cloud or similar.  Custom window film prints can be added in special circumstances.
• Framed graphics are typically Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG’s)

• Refer to Nike Tech standards
