A staging area for unpackaging materials exists. Installation will not pose safety hazards as work areas will be cleared of personnel. Work hours must align with building access regulations. The required type of shading has been clarified—Roller shades will be used rather than blinds—and issues regarding furniture relocation in cubicle areas will be managed by building staff.
