OTHER TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION SUPPORT SPACES

Depending on your program, various support spaces may be needed in addition to the technology education classroom lab and high-bay. Included on this site are computer laboratories and a teachers’ office. Additional storage space might be another need.

Computer Lab

Some programs require a dedicated computer lab, usually a resource shared by other departments in the school. Computer labs shown on this site are sized for twenty-four students with a teacher’s desk, demonstration computer, and audio-visual control station. There is adequate wall space for whiteboard and a projection screen.

Teachers’ Office

Providing offices for teachers has become a common procedure. A teacher needs a place to work and meet with students and colleagues. Offices are especially critical when labs are assigned to more than one teacher, rather than being the teacher’s home base. A shared office, for 6 teachers, is shown in the diagrams. Each teacher has a desk, a side chair, book shelving, and a file cabinet.
