Intermixed throughout our open office floor plan, we have included a number of casual seating arrangements to facilitate informal, impromptu meetings. Would these informal seating arrangements be classified as multi-occupant spaces and therefore require separate lighting controls?

If they are not enclosed and are just comfortable chairs, they probably won't be considered shared multi occupant work areas. In some cases a floor lamp or different lighting can help define these spaces and make them more appealing, but that's a design issue...
