If there are a lot of computers on the floor, then the recent (last 5 years)trend has been to double up the neutral conductors and put the computer equipment itself on a panel with a separate, isolated ground.

Power distribution should be based on current draw - if a device (ex. heavy duty copy machine) draws 15 Amps it should NOT be put on a 20 AMP circuit that provides convenience outlets in an office.

Convenience outlets are just that - receptacles placed arund the office to provide a convenient spot to plug in some device.

The architect should have been advised of what each specific office layout would be (PCs, printers, lamps, refrigerators, microwaves etc.). If this wasn't done, then you get a generic layout (hopefully) done as per local and National codes.
