I outfitted a lab about 10 years ago. One of my primary concerns was =
being sure the students had adequate work space around the computers. We =
went with 6 ' tables and 2 computers on each. It is adequate, but just =
barely. As we SLOWLY move to LCD monitors the space will be better. =20
And that brings up the other concern - heat. Be sure the room has =
adequate air conditioning.
I was also blessed to be able to get rolling adjustable chairs and =
carpeting and it has worked out really well. In 12 years I've replaced 3 =
chairs (Virco) which I think is quite remarkable for a room being used by =
3-8th. graders and occupied probably 75% of the time.
Good success and enjoy the opportunity.

Hello,
I'm seeking information, anecdotes, feedback, etc from those of you who
have been a part of a major renovation within the last ten years. More
specifically those of you who exist/work in library and technology (i.e.
computer labs) spaces, what were your guiding principles in space design
or providing input towards design, what concerns did you have, what
obstacles or problems did you encounter, what do you wish you could have
done differently now after the renovations are finished...

Feel free to reply to my email address (nbancks@spa.edu) rather replying
to the entire listserv.

Thanks so much for any feedback!
