Flexible workstations are office spaces designed to be shared by hybrid-remote employees and support either Apple or Window laptops. Connect with IT using the [Flexible Workstations Request Form] to setup a flexible workstation in your department. IT will review your request and help you create a workspace that is equipped to meet the needs of your employees.



Flexible Workstations Best Practices
  • Coordinate with facilities to ensure that the office furniture is setup to support hybrid-remote employees.
  • Create workstations that are well equipped. Refrain from using old or inferior equipment.
  • Encourage employees to clean the keyboard and mouse at the beginning and end of their usage or to bring their own keyboard and mouse.
  • Provide power adapters at each workstation.
  • Departments with USB-C Macbook users, purchase an extra HDMI video adapters to lend out to employees when they forget their own. Adapters were provided to employees when they received their computer.
  • Encourage employees to use the lockdown kit provided with the laptop to secure the laptop at the workstation. 
  • Use the wired Ethernet connection. Biola’s wireless is very good, but wireless connections are generally more susceptible to interference from other sources and are not as stable or fast as a wired connection
  • Departments can order isopropyl alcohol and wipes, or pre-moistened disinfecting wipes from Central Stores. Ensure that disinfecting wipes are not too wet when cleaning the keyboard.
  • Contact IT if you have monitors, keyboards, or mice that you would like to repurpose towards a flexible workspace.
