Workplace programs
Develop a workplace program from headcount and work activities.
What it does
Give Norma the headcount, expected attendance, available area and ways of working. Norma develops program alternatives with you, including proposed seats, space allocations and room schedules.
Install
Connect Arch Studio in Claude or ChatGPT, then return to your conversation and ask Norma for the task. Your assistant uses its available file access and tools to carry out the skill.

Use Arch Studio to develop a workplace program for 80 staff with a user-supplied peak attendance assumption of 60 people. Explore desk and meeting-space options within this brief. Label assumptions and keep code occupant-load calculations separate.The full catalog lives in your assistant once Arch Studio is connected. Ask: Norma, what can you do? List the skills, tools, agents and workflows available in this host, grouped by practice area.
What the program includes
Planning assumptions
Norma distinguishes your requirements and supplied attendance figures from research evidence and design proposals.
Spaces and seats
Norma proposes room types, seat counts and area allocations that respond to the brief.
Options and reconciliation
Norma compares alternatives and checks the proposed program against the available area. Planned seating remains separate from code occupant load.
Workflow
- Read — Norma establishes the headcount, activities and space constraints.
- Develop — Norma proposes program alternatives with assumptions visible.
- Review — You review the tradeoffs and choose the program direction to refine.
Pairs with
Occupant loads. Norma uses the separate occupant-load method when the project needs a code calculation.
