A command center desk is a specialized type of console furniture designed for use in command centers and mission-critical operations facilities. Typically more extensive and advanced than a traditional office desk, it includes features that assist operators with comfort during long shifts and helps with efficiency and productivity.

If you’ve ever watched a film or TV show that features a 911 dispatcher on the job, then you know that these types of workers don’t sit in any typical kind of desk or cubicle, as these employees aren’t your traditional office drones. No, instead of a row of desks, these workers are often placed in a spacious command center facility with screens in front of them. In fact, you may not notice it, but their dispatch furniture has a lot going on when it comes to determining how they best function in the role of crisis communication. Whereas many office workers can do their job anywhere, dispatchers need to have the right space in order to do their jobs properly.

When it comes to command center console furniture, the NASA look of yesteryear is long gone. Heavy, metallic consoles and equally weighty wooden furniture are considered relics of the past, in a bit of the same way that NASA space shuttles have gotten sleeker and more agile.

For them, it’s when mathematical and scientific skills come together to fulfill a common goal.

Whether it’s control room consoles or office desks, purchasing new furniture is fun. (Who doesn’t love shopping at IKEA?) But just as you look for a sofa that will last through many a cat nap and maybe even an occasional couch-crasher, you should also put the same ideals into searching for control room furniture (although you don’t want employees napping on the job). Command center furnishings should help staff members be able to do their jobs to the best of their abilities for many years to come, without inhibiting their comfort while standing up to wear and tear.
