Floor Layout

To create the floor layout that shows the locations of desks, computers, printers, and
network cables, follow these steps. I will guide you on how to do it step by step, and
I’ll provide a few ideas on how to represent the equipment clearly.
1. Understand the Company Layout:
The company you’re supporting has:
25 to 30 employees with desktop PCs.
Senior staff with tablet computers that connect via WiFi.
3 black-and-white printers and 2 color printers shared by all staff.
A LAN (Local Area Network) for data sharing and internet access.
A system that must be available 24/7.
2. Basic Steps to Create a Floor Layout:
You can use tools like:
Microsoft Word or PowerPoint (shapes and text boxes)
Google Drawings
Specialized software like Visio or Lucidchart for more advanced diagrams.
If you prefer drawing by hand, that’s also fine! You can draw the floor plan on
paper, scan or take a photo of it, and include it in your plan.
3. Start with the Basic Office Setup:
Draw or represent:
Desks for each employee: You can use small rectangles for desks.
Computers on desks: Small squares or icons for the desktop PCs.
Printers: Draw 5 icons for the printers (3 for black-and-white, 2 for color) in
strategic locations for easy access.
WiFi Zones: Represent the WiFi access points for senior staff with tablets using a
circle or a symbol for wireless connections.
4. Show the Network Cabling:
LAN Cables: These connect the desktop computers to the network.Draw lines
between each PC and the network switches or server.Make sure you indicate
that the printers are also connected to the LAN via cables.
Switch and Router Locations: Draw a central area for the network switch,
which connects all devices to the internet and LAN.Server or Router: Include a
small square or symbol representing the router or server that connects to the
internet.
5. Example Layout (Simplified):
Diagram Explanation:
Use shapes or icons to represent different office equipment.
Network cables should run from each desk to a central hub (switch).
Place printers in convenient locations for easy access by all employees.
Mark the WiFi access points in areas where senior staff will use tablets.
Each desk is connected to the switch or router via cables (LAN).
Place printers in areas accessible to everyone (e.g., near corners or sides).
WiFi zones (circles) will cover the area where senior staff move with their tablets.
6. Additional Tips:
Label everything clearly: Be sure to name desks, printers, WiFi zones, and the
location of the network devices like the switch or router.
If possible, use different colors for network cables and power cables to make the
diagram easier to read.
Try to keep your layout simple and realistic so the company can follow your plan.
7. Tools for Digital Layouts:
Lucidchart or Microsoft Visio: These are great for creating professional- looking
floor plans with built-in icons for computers, desks, and network devices.
Google Drawings: Simple and easy for basic layouts.
With this approach, you can create a clear and functional floor layout that shows
where everything will be placed in the office, including desks, computers, printers,
and the necessary network connections.
