Hi, the context here is

人民路12345 号办公场合的装修应该有更明确的预规划.

Would it be something like "office situation" or "business situation"?

Thanks in advance!

premises:
Land and the buildings on it.

Business doesn't just happen in the office. If office was meant, it would have been written as 办公室. But 办公场合 may include offices.

workplace


Explanation:
should be “办公场所”instead of “办公场合”“场合”is a situation, referring to the ambiens, atmospheres considering the purposes of a gathering, who is present, what the theme is, etc. for example, where a wedding is going on, or official meeting is being held and so on; while “场所” is just a place for work, "workplace" is what some of our American partners use officially for their offices or office buildings and related working facilities during our business talks. “场合” can not be decorated, but workplaces can be decorated or arranged in different styles for different “场合”。

office setting


Explanation:
My 2 cents...
One other caution: In some social contexts, particularly in an office or a professional setting, greetings between the sexes should be very conservative.
另一项值得注意的：在某种社交场合，尤其是在办公室或专业场合里，两性之间的问候应该非常保守。
