- Windows (with shades/blinds; feels more relaxing to be working long hours when you can see something other than 4 cement walls)
- Microphone/sound support (some instructors are soft-spoken) From: Discuss <[email protected]> on behalf of "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 3:31 PM To: Software Carpentry discussion <[email protected]> Subject: [Discuss] your ideal training space is...? Hi, Suppose you're running a Software Carpentry-style workshop (hands on, a couple of days, 30-40 people) - what features would your ideal room have? So far I've got: - in-floor power outlets every 3m - disabled access - reliable high-capacity WiFi (probably its own node) - dual screen/dual projector - wheeled tables (easy to rearrange) - support forward-facing, U-shaped, small islands - extra HVAC to handle crowds with laptops in summer - whiteboards on all available surfaces - soundproof (or close to) - easy external access (no interior barriers) - easy access to washrooms and coffee area (no internal barriers) - clock on rear wall (visible to trainer but not distracting trainees) - storage closet for office supplies (so that they don't wander away as quickly) - adjustable lighting with human-comprehensible controls - easy printer access (in room or nearby) What would you add?
