Hmmm... my PPOE (a government R&D agency) moved into a new building in 1986.  
During planning and design it was thought a group of public terminals near 
the computer room would be sufficient, allowing that a few people around the 
building would also have terminals on their desks.  By the time the building 
was occupied there was a terminal on nearly every desk. (Staff was about 
250.)  And when I started work there as a regular employee in 1988, most of 
of those were VT220's and VT320's.  Most of the VT100's were junk by then. 
(Also we were beginning to plan for ethernet to all offices, which happened 
by 1993.)
