Is no magic formula. How many users/devices? What will they be doing? A single
AP may do it, or you might need several.

If you disable two of the g radios, bump up the power a little. If your
radio's in the middle of the room, 9 dBm would ensure you get a good data
rate throughout the room. You may even get away with 6 dBm with such low
partition walls.

So that's 30 to 40 cubes? Two or three AP spread evenly around the space
will be fine. Power can be turned way down. I'd use 6 dBm at 5 GHz and 3
dBm at 2.4 GHz. You might even disable one or two of the 2.4 GHz radios
depending on 2.4 GHz uptake in your network.

The first suggestion that comes to mind is to watch your corners to insure they
are filled out and don't have "corner office syndrome". Standing in the corner
of the corner cubical you should see your 5GHz in the negative upper 60's in
dBm. People debate that but -65 to -62 is should get you

There is no getting around surveying in my humble opinion. Create a plan for
coverage, then modify it for capacity ( if needed ).

My installation will be Aruba AP315's, but anyone feel free to chime in ..
In an open air area (e.g a large cube farm), what is your general rule of thumb
for how apart you place your AP's? One of the spaces I'm looking at is 88' x
24' and will be filled with 8x8' (48" high) cubes. I already
