Portuguese term or phrase: Baia

I would like to know how to translate, from Portuguese into English, the term "baia" in the following context:
"O reclamante não tinha baia própria para trabalhar." This deals with the office spaces (or boxes) usually assigned to trainees. I have seen the term "form office" on the internet, but am not sure whether it applies...
Thank you in advance for your invaluable assistance!!

Notes to answerer

Asker: Both work and cubicle are correct, but I will chose workspace because it is more generic. Thank you very much to both answerers and to all those who offered their contribution!!!

Cubicle

Explanation:
If it's actually a "box" type of workspace, then it's called a "cubicle."
