| Determining classroom space requirements
In planning a classroom for computer-based training, it is important to leave enough space for students to move and position themselves comfortably without having to endure lack of elbow room, knee space or interruption from students or the instructor passing behind them. Here is a very basic calculator that will help you determine the appropriate size room to accommodate a variety of SMARTdesks™ student computer workstations and laptop worktables. Simply enter the number of students and the calculator will provide the minimum room size required in square feet for each work area size and product category. |

The calculation assumes that desks/tables are arranged in rows with an aisle between rows of four (or less) stations and includes 120 square feet of instruction area. Most other arrangements will require more space per student, however, workstation clusters often permit greater density, especially in smaller rooms. In addition, the calculator does not account for doorways, columns and pilasters or other architectural elements.
