What Do You Think of Our Computer Workstation Prototype
As part of a larger plan to upgrade and enhance the Paley Library first floor computing area, new types of computer workstations are being considered. One prototype of a new workstation is currently on display in Paley Library, located in the center of the first floor computer area. Here are photos of the prototype:
We urge our students to visit the Paley Library to give this prototype a personal use. Try it out. Then let us know what you think of it. Does it provide enough space? Is it comfortable to use? Is there enough privacy or too much? What do you think would work better? Share your feedback by adding a comment to this post or use our online suggestion box. We look forward to providing a variety of new furniture that will make this area a better workspace for our students.

It looks great to me. The one question I have is whether there will also be options for more than one student to be working at a station at a time--these stations look like they would allow only individual students to work there. Since students are often involved in collaborative projects, I think it would be useful to include stations that provide space for more than one--though this may already be in the works.
