Stacking Plan

A stacking plan is a diagrammatic allocation of teams and functions across the floors of a multi-storey office building. It shows which department occupies which floor (or part-floor), how headcount is distributed vertically, and where shared amenities such as reception, canteen, and conferencing are positioned. It is produced before detailed space planning begins on individual floors.

Getting the stacking plan right is critical: a poorly stacked building generates excessive inter-floor circulation, puts high-collaboration teams far from shared meeting rooms, or places a noisy creative team directly above a quiet legal or finance team. In a Pune GCC occupying three floors of a Hinjewadi tower, the stacking plan must consider which floor the visitor reception is on, which teams have the most cross-functional meetings, and which teams prefer a quieter floor plate.
