I just wanted to give people a slight heads up regarding setting up a
room in a classroom setting. I recently taught in a really fancy room
where the tables had both network and power in them. They were set up in
a U shape, so as per usual, the first thing we did was to set them up in
rows so that people wouldn´t have to break their necks. We didn´t get
power to the tables now, because we couldn´t figure out the cabling, but
we didn´t think too much of it. There were no notes or information
regarding room configuration or desks or anything anywhere.
I just got word from the host that they incurred an extra $3000 charge
from the facilities management for costs incurred due to the facilities
people having to put the tables together correctly again. I have
profusely apologized to the host, so no hard feelings fortunately, but
still. It might be wise to not only double but triple check if there
might be any issues regarding room configuration.
