Secure work pod and method of making and using

A method of constructing a secure work pod comprising the steps of:

• providing a channel framing structure having interior facing and exterior facing portions with a plurality of construction connectors positioned on the members for fastening interior and exterior panels to the framing structure, said framing structure having vertical members for securing vertical wall panels, top horizontal members for securing a ceiling frame at the top of the frame and bottom horizontal members for securing a floor panel;
• providing a horizontal floor panel having a front edge with an angled portion and a straight portion, and having perpendicular edges on the right side, left side and back side of the floor panel;
• providing a horizontal ceiling frame having front edge with an angled portion and a straight portion, and having perpendicular edges on the right side, left side and back side;
• providing a plurality of exterior wall panels, said plurality of exterior wall panels having a back wall panel, a right side wall panel, a left side wall panel and a front wall panel, said front wall panel having a window opening and being substantially half the length of the back wall panel providing a doorway opening on the front of the secure work pod;
• providing a plurality of interior wall panels, said plurality of interior wall panels having a back wall panel, a right side wall panel, a left side wall panel and a front wall panel, said front wall panel having a window opening and being substantially half the length of the back wall panel providing a doorway opening on the front of the secure work pod coplanar with the doorway opening the exterior front wall panel;
• providing drop in electrical components to provide power to the secure work pod interior;
• securing the horizontal floor panel to the bottom horizontal members of the frame structure with the construction connectors;
• securing the horizontal ceiling frame to the top horizontal members of the frame structure with the construction connectors;
• attaching the interior wall panels to the interior facing portion of the frame structure;
• attaching the drop-in wiring connectors to the back panel adjacent to a location for a power outlet strip for the work pod interior for powering lights and equipment;
• and
• attaching the exterior wall panels to the exterior facing portion of the frame structure using the construction connectors.

A method for structuring a secure work pod environment comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of assembled secure work pods, each of said plurality of assembled secure work pods having:
• a ceiling frame, a ceiling panel, or a combination thereof;
• a floor panel, said floor panel having a plurality of lockable casters for moving and securing said assembled secure work pod,
• a front side with a window opening, a left side, a right side, and a back side, said front side, back side, left side and right said having wall panels, said front side being positioned at an angle relative to either the left side or the right side of the secure work pod, and
• a doorway opening adjacent the angled front side;
• providing construction connectors on the exterior of the plurality of secure work pods;
• providing one or more banks of lockable storage compartments, said banks of lockable storage compartments having construction connectors compatible with construction connectors on assembled secure work pods;
• positioning said assembled secure work pods adjacent to one another such that said angled front side with said window opening of a first secure work pod is directed away from said angled front sides with said window openings of one or more adjacent work pods, said positioning providing visual privacy for the secure work pod interiors;
• connecting assembled secure work pods with said construction connectors on said left side, said right side, or said back side to construct a secure work pod cluster having two or more secure work pods with windows angled to provide for visual privacy;
• and
• connecting said one or more banks of lockable storage compartments with said construction connectors to one or more of the secure work pods in the work pod cluster forming a work pod block.
