Have you ever heard the term ‘cubicle’? If you are working for a large company, having thousands of employees, we bet you have. The term itself may sound strange to you, but you definitely know about these large common office premises, where several workers can work at a time. Such premises usually have a kind of cabins for every worker, which is his or her personal workspace, isolated from other people. These cabins are the cubicles we are talking about. However, only huge and specialized companies have such cabins and that is why even being an office-worker, you can be surprised by this article. Anyway, whatever workspace you have in your office – a cabin or a personal office, there are some very interesting facts about cubicles and we are just about to present them to you.
The term ‘cubicle’ has a Latin origin and it was used to name a part of a bedchamber. Later on, the term came to the English language and the beginning of its circulation through the language dates back to the 15th century. In the course of time, this word has come to be used to denote any small premise in the house, like small studies with partitions, dividing a room into two parts usually. Such partitions tended not to reach the ceiling and were installed to create a kind of a boudoir or a workplace. Nowadays, the use of cubicles has not practically changed. Large companies, enterprises and corporations use such cubicles for large halls, intended for up to hundreds of people working there. Cubicles are needed to create these small private zones for workers, to let them concentrate on what they are doing and not share their privacies with other workers. Such arrangement of working places is usually used in a large number of companies, specialized in different spheres. Sometimes, cubicles are grouped together, making up a finished picture of combs, where worker work as working bees. Such groupings of cubicles are sometimes called cube farms and such name is mostly caused by the look of these cabins grouped together into a system of working ‘cells’.
So, why are cubicles so popular? Actually, their popularity has grown considerable with the appearance of the Internet. The greatest thing about cubicles is that they help to place more workers into the same premise, economizing the working space and making large working halls look organized. Moreover, you can change the design of a premise and move cubicles together with the equipment, which is very important sometimes. Nowadays, cubicles are used all over the place, from churches to schools, but big enterprises make them popular and practically any office cannot do without them today, turning them into one of the most important parts of office interior.
