James, That is one hell of a convoluted explanation. On the other hand I cannot believe in today's world people would not know what a cubicle is.
A cubicle is what most people would call an office. The difference is most offices have normal full size walls and a door. The cubicle has no doors and the walls are usually short. If you have a building with a very large open space and you divide the space with 6 foot high wall dividers interlocked to form a series of boxes with individual openings, that is a what a cubicle is. Of course, there are isles (walk ways) inbetween groups of these cubicles for access.
