Abstract (en)
An information display system is disclosed. A work environment providing a work area and a workstation including the information display system are also disclosed. The information display system includes a track system adapted to attach to a mounting structure and a plurality of display panels coupled to the track system for movement with respect to the mounting structure. The display panels are adapted to present information selectively for display by pivotal and translating movement of the plurality of display panels. The track system may include at least one rail. The display panels may be cantilevered away from the track system at a vertical elevation to provide clearance below the display panels for a seated worker. The information display system may include a plurality of containers coupled to the track system for movement with respect to the mounting structure, with each of the plurality of containers is adapted to include at least one display panel. Each of the display panels is adapted to present information and the information can selectively be presented for display by movement of the plurality of containers. Each of the display panels may include at least one display board. A docking area may be positioned along the track system and configured to at least partially conceal at least one of the display panels. A utility threshold may be adapted for movement along a predefined path about the work area to selectively deliver utilities to at least one portion of the work area. The work environment may provide a work space that can be arranged or divided to include at least one work area within the available floor space. In the work area, the display panels may be moved from a first arrangement to at least a second arrangement. The first arrangement allows one worker to use substantially all available floor space; the second arrangement allows a plurality of workers to share the available floor space so as to facilitate the utilization of the floor space by workers present in the work environment. <IMAGE>
