Desk8 is a modular interlocking system that can build thousands of different layouts. Its durability means that your investment will be a long-term one, as you can retain the same furniture over many years through multiple classroom revamps. Desk8 provides a functional, robust, safe environment with secure storage for valuable IT equipment. Desk8 offers three approaches to IT security, that are shown below. All of these are available as Rectangle or Trapezoid desks.

Standard desk without PC Security		With PC Security Cage & Monitor Arm			With Lockable Notebook Security Box
Solution 1 is great for rooms where PC security is already in place. You can use this modular design to provide flexible desk layouts in any classroom, library or office. There is scope to purchase a PC Cage, a Notebook Security Box or Monitor Arm later, to add full IT security features at any time in the future. Desk8 is a totally upgradeable system.		Solution 2 includes a lockable metal cage to encase a Mini Tower PC or a Slimline Desktop PC. The cage holds the PC securely under the desk. To avoid contact with feet, the PC is held clear of the ground, as are all of the cables. To save desk space a tilt and swivel monitor arm holds the LCD monitor clear of the work surface.			Solution 3 provides a Notebook Security Box which allows users to slide the notebook up from a lockable storage box at the back of the desk, to allow use anywhere on the desktop. An optional security cable links the notebook to the leg to deter thieves. When Notebooks are not in use this allows students to have full use of the desktop.

With Desk8’s modular interlocking system you can build thousands of unique room designs. Desk8 components can be easily rearranged to create new layouts, ensuring that today’s investment can be adapted over and over again, to accommodate changes in requirements in the future. Rectangles are ideal for running around the edge of a room, where power and network points are readily available, or they can be used for creating a traditional classroom.

Desk8 Rectangular desks can be used as stand-alone or linked together to form straight runs or facing blocks.
Trapezoid desks can be joined to produce Octagons (8 places) and with infill panels Hexagons (6 places) or squares (4 places). Trapezoids offer scope for utilising room centres in libraries and other rooms that support students working as groups.

In addition to linking desks to form shapes, each shape can be linked together, joined to a wall or incorporate a larger Teacher Desk within a shape. Computer cabling can be run between linked shapes to avoid the need to use a raised floor or ceiling to run cables.

Square - 4 Users Four Desk8 Trapezoid desks can be interlocked to form a square, using four 45° infill panels between each desk.		Hexagon - 6 Users To create a 6-user hexagon with some extra desk space, add 15° infill panels between six Desk8 Trapezoids.		Octagon - 8 Users Desk8 Trapezoids placed side-by-side form an Octagon for groups of eight. This does not require any infill panels.
		“Desks are interchangeable, layouts are adaptable and I can buy different infills when I need to. The Resource Centre is booked in advance by different groups and Desk8 gives me the flexibility to have different configurations laid out for each booking where required”. Mrs Taylor, Reading School
Outside Corner Unit Straight runs using Trapezoid desks are formed using 45° infill panels and reversing a 45° infill allows rows to turn corners.				Octagon With Wall Link - 7 Users The wall link is ideal for printers and scanners and provides a means to run cable management from the Octagon to a wall.
Narrow Boardroom This arrangement is based on a square and requires a 45° infill panel at each end and 45° infill panels on the straight edge.		Conference Style An Octagon extended with 45° infill panels can form a wide conference style table with an option to add a Teacher Desk		Linked Octagons Link two or more Octagons with infill panels that can house printers/scanners and also hide any cables running between Octagons.
