WORKSTATION DESIGNING

I got this from Lifehacker. This post reminds me of the computer cafe project I designed. I studied the right height for the table height, sitting height, divisions width, etc. I got the answers from Ernst and Peter Neufert’s Architect’s Data
Ergonomic product company Ergotron offers an installation tool (see top image for preview) to figure out just that. Just click your height and various values are displayed; sitting eye height, standing elbow height, seat height, etc. Using this would certainly help me a lot during the designing stage of my computer cafe. It could certainly help you with the right posture for everything while using your computer which means it could lessen your backaches. See Workstation Intallation Tool [Ergotron via Steve Olsen] to use it.
The image below is the study I made for the Computer Cafe. The dimensions are based on average persons (basically filipino height) for there will be a different persons who will use the computers.
Hope this help if your planning to build a workstation. By the way the workstation tool by Ergoton will calculate in inches. So if you are a metric person, be sure to ready your conversion knowledge. hehehe.
