The present invention is directed to a novel workstation which incorporates an acoustical dome for increased acoustic and visual privacy for the user. The workstation further is adjustable in height such that it is able to accommodate a range of users from the 5.sup.th percentile seated female to the 95.sup.th percentile standing male according to the dictates of ANSI/HFES100-2007 national ergonomic standard. The workstation is further designed to be in electrical and data communication with other workstations to optimize the workstation density in an open working environment without compromising user privacy.

The present invention is a secure work pod that is a flexibly private, moveable, personal office. The secure work pod allows a user to have visual and acoustic privacy in an otherwise open workspace. The secure pod is constructed of flat panels that are constructed in a workspace by connectors that allow for 90-degree connections of the panels. Panels may have windows for visibility inserted in the front and back panels. The windows may have semi-glazed windows for privacy or may be left open. The work pod has an acoustic door that provides privacy for the user. The secure work pods can be organized into small layouts having a few pods or in large layout neighborhoods having multiple work pods.

A desk includes a work surface, a casing, a carriage, a stand, and a plurality of actuators. The actuators are operable to selectively adjust a vertical position of the work surface, the stand between at least a stored position and a deployed position, and a lateral position of the carriage. The casing is mounted to the work surface and defines an interior volume sized for receipt of a display. The carriage is mounted to the stand and is configured for supporting the display. A controller is in operative communication with the actuators and is configured for receiving data corresponding to a desk configuration over a wireless network and activating one or more of the actuators to correspond to the desk configuration.
