Properly inform everyone about the equipment being used to limit risk of fire, explosion, injury, and other hazards.
How do we make sure everyone can use the technology
Disaster Management
Auditorium
Fire
3d printer and general hardware "explosions" are usually rather exaggerated. though they can stil present a fire hazard. I'd sar we should just have some sort of sprinkler system wherever the 3d printer maybe left un-supervised, Or at least a proper, autonomous smoke alarm. -Miles
lunch tables/booths
Depending on size, a fire extinguisher in each corner. Training on how to use them for every student and member of staff.
Less Distracting
Won't give me motion sickness
Cheaper Costs
Not exaggerated. Almost died once -Patrick
exposed brick looks cool
saves money
can look like a prison
Looks less formal due to the exposed brick and ceiling. Makes the building kind cheap
A sprinkler system wouldn't work, water an expensive electronics don't mix. We need C class fire extinguishers.
We could potentially use recycled materials like bricks and refurbished wood to close off an renovate spaces.
industrial look = less construction needed for the building
the lights are not harsh
classrooms
types of seating
Looks quite astray from your typical cubical office, glass building interiors, and most other high paying job environments
matches the other locations/schools
links to the history of the building
beanbag chairs
looks like quite a few workplaces look
To accommodate different students.
not as much glass walls
Library Area

Seating
Must be comparable to Mrs. Evans book collection.
Beanbags
Regular swivel chairs
Carpet
Book review option

noise reduction (sound proofing
a wooden box with a desk, a chair, a TV, a florescent light, and a sticker that says "Time out box" then put the bad kids in them. They are forced to watch a video telling them what they did wrong and how they can improve themselves. You see, completely ethical, no human rights violations here :)
separate rooms for people who want to work on the group projects vs on edmentum
Noise Reduction
separate rooms for kids who want to work on group projects vs on just edmentum
acoustic flooring--rubber underlayers
sound absorbing materials
soundproofed pods for individual plt time
I disagree with lockers, our school is smaller than the average school space, we are not required to carry textbooks, and the money for these lockers could be put to better use elsewhere.
Separate work spaces for individuals and groups.
less cluttered
vending machine
sound proofed room for recording
room to present for design team and other things
