Abstract
An isolated work space is created within a confined area used as an airflow plenum to inhibit the spread of debris and/or contamination. For example, a work area can be formed in an under-floor space of a datacenter. Forming the work area includes erecting an airflow barrier to surround a work area portion of the under-floor space, forming a lower-perimeter seal to seal a bottom edge of the airflow barrier, forming an upper-perimeter seal to seal a top edge of the airflow barrier, operatively connecting a vacuum source with the work area portion, and operating the vacuum source to reduce the air pressure within the work area portion relative to the remaining portion of the under-floor space.
