workstations

Designated task areas

Workstations are specialized computers designed for technical or professional tasks requiring more processing power than standard desktops—engineering design, video editing, scientific modeling, 3D animation.

The term also refers more broadly to any desk or area equipped for work: Each employee has their own workstation.

In open offices, workstation often means a cubicle or designated workspace.
