Hot desks as regularly occupied space?

Yes, its still considered a workstation, and why wouldn't you want these spaces to have daylight.

Todd, it is a workstation, but why would it be considered regularly occupied if it doesn't fulfill the one hour requirement?

I agree that I personally would want these spaces to have daylight.

Paul, these are very hot hot stations!

Jill, there are numerous spaces listed in the regularly occupied space matrix that you could easily say, will be occupied for less than one hour and therefore are not considered regularly occupied. But to avoid the continuous argument as to what is and is not regularly occupied, they listed a bunch of spaces. Well, they haven't listed every single type of space out there. So you take these spaces that are not specifically listed in the matrix and then group them with what type of activity occurs in this space. Hot desk, people getting together to discuss items, review documents etc. etc. You could say the same for a conference room. You could argue they are different and that a hot desk is only meant for "quick" get togethers, where as conference rooms are not. But I could argue that you could meet at a Hot desk for more than an hour. Where are hot desks typically located? Within an open office plan off to one side where teams can gather. How can you not list that as regularly occupied, its not circulation.

So it is best to place the space based on activity rather than argue that it is "meant" to be used for less than one hour, even though it could be used for more than hour.

You can make

Thanks. Also, it was good to remind myself that the one hour per person isn't a requirement as much as a guideline.

Paull, I think Todd is right and if you're going to try to exclude these spaces you're going to have to provide a very strong case as to why no one would want to use them for more than an hour. When I think of non-regularly occupied spaces based on the time guideline, I think of a corridor, as he mentions, or a small copier station for example.
