floor (distribution) cabinet
Explanation:
As you would be able to see from earlier glossary entries, 'plateau' in this sort of context refers to an (open-plan) structural 'floor' (prior to it's being fitted out with divding walls, etc. — or subsequently during refurbishment etc.)
'Armoire' per se just means some kind of 'cabinet' — could even be an 'electrical cupboard' — but usually, its reason for being there will of course be to take the incoming main electricity supply and distribute it around that particular floor level. So it wouldn't really amount to over-interpretation to add that in, just to make it clear it isn't any other kind of cabinet!

  -> No, Gilles, I'm sure it's not; the clue is in the use of 'plateau' (note: not 'plaque') in the specific context of office space. I'm sure Asker has more context that would immediately clarify.
