Student Needs… !
…and the ideal computer lab!
Workstations !
 Same number of seats in room as current (30)!
 Dual-monitor support!
 Height well-matched to usage style (adjustable)!
 Space for laptop and/or study materials!
 Improved room mobility and visibility!
 Opportunity for re-configurability (multi-use)!
 Create a more inviting, social atmosphere. !

 Large enough to be seen across room, yet light
enough to transport!
 Easily movable!
 Compatible with alternative uses and projects!
 Ability to mirror wall projectors wirelessly!
 Multiple possible arrangements inside and
outside of room!
 Immersive “cage”!
 Video Column!
