An information display system is disclosed. A work environment providing a work area and a workstation including the information display system are also disclosed. The information display system includes a track system adapted to attach to a mounting structure and a plurality of display panels coupled to the track system for movement with respect to the mounting structure. The display panels are adapted to present information selectively for display by pivotal and translating movement of the plurality of display panels. The track system may include at least one rail. The display panels may be cantilevered away from the track system at a vertical elevation to provide clearance below the display panels for a seated worker. The information display system may include a plurality of containers coupled to the track system for movement with respect to the mounting structure, with each of the plurality of containers is adapted to include at least one display panel. Each of the display panels is adapted to present information and the information can selectively be presented for display by movement of the plurality of containers. Each of the display panels may include at least one display board. A docking area may be positioned along the track system and configured to at least partially conceal at least one of the display panels. A utility threshold may be adapted for movement along a predefined path about the work area to selectively deliver utilities to at least one portion of the work area. The work environment may provide a work space that can be arranged or divided to include at least one work area within the available floor space. In the work area, the display panels may be moved from a first arrangement to at least a second arrangement. The first arrangement allows one worker to use substantially all available floor space; the second arrangement allows a plurality of workers to share the available floor space so as to facilitate the utilization of the floor space by workers present in the work environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the FIGURES, an information display system is shown for use in association with a work environment that may include one or more workstations according to preferred and other exemplary embodiments of the present invention.
For purposes of any exemplary or alternative embodiments of the present invention, the work environment may be of any type generally providing a work space for one or more workers.
The work space may be divided or otherwise arranged to provide one or more work areas for use by the workers, who may be engaged in any of a wide variety of individual activities or group activities, for example, as may be performed by members of a project team or department.
Workstations may be configured within the work environment by including one or more articles of furniture within the work areas in support of the workers and their activities.
As indicated in FIGURES, the information display system may be adapted for use within the work environment or included workstations in wide variety of arrangements, each intended to support individual or collaborative activities of one or more workers, for example, by facilitating the efficient creation, use and storage of information or the configuration and reconfiguration of work areas for the activities.
According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the work environment will be defined at least partially by architectural walls and/or a system of panel walls, such as partial height partitions, any of which may provide a mounting structure for the information display system.
As will be shown with reference to exemplary embodiments, the work environment and associated workstations may be arranged to include any of a wide variety of articles of furniture and other associated elements, including additional panel walls configured in any of a wide variety of orientations, chairs or other seating products, storage or casegoods products, tables and other worksurfaces, lighting products or systems, as well as other accessories, electronic or computing equipment and other systems (with associated connectivity such as cabling) known and used in the work environment
