Floor channel for partition system

An elongated floor channel comprising:

• a top flange configured to stably engage and support a partition having a cover panel;
• and
• outer flanges configured to engage a floor surface;
• the outer flanges each define a horizontal row of discrete attachment points configured to receive brackets for connecting a furniture unit to the floor channel, whereby the furniture unit can be attached adjacent the floor surface in a selected off-module position along the floor wherein the discrete attachment points are accessible for receiving the brackets when the cover panel is placed on the partition;
• and
• wherein the outer flange includes perpendicular flanges defining a corner;
• wherein the horizontal row of discrete attachment points are located in the corner.

A method comprising steps of:

• providing a first floor channel having a first horizontal row of discrete attachment points;
• providing a first partition having a second horizontal row of discrete attachment points;
• providing a second partition and a second floor channel positioned at an angle to the first floor channel;
• supporting the first partition on the first floor channel with the first and second horizontal row of discrete attachment points spaced vertically apart;
• and
• attaching the second floor channel and the second partition to selected points in the first and second horizontal row of discrete attachment points.
