Time Frame: Project planning took approximately six months. Installation was competed in two days and was completed in July of 2007.
Full Description of Project
The original plan called for installation of furniture that would allow up to twenty workstations (to accommodate a Residence Hall Class Section) that also had plenty of workspace and study space.
New furniture was selected and purchased for the new Technology Learning Centers (TLC) located in Witte and Sellery Residence Halls. The furniture will improve the space and help meet students needs in regards to providing high quality technology work space and study space. An electric ADA table was also included in the design. In addition these spaces will be accessible by residents (via their e-key) 24 hours a day/seven days a week.
Previously these spaces were used as meeting areas (Sellery) and a music room (Witte).
New furniture and chairs were designed and installed by Lerdahl.
Results
The Sellery and Witte TLCs are the most popular of the TLC centers in University Housing.
Additions since the original project include:
- Additional power outlets and network access along all the walls and floor.
- Wireless network throughout the room
- Artwork and photographs put on walls
- Staff area
