Hello,
I too am designing a new lab with just 12 stations, all around the perimeter
of a long, rectangular room. I am wondering what people think of having
barriers/carrels, at least at the sides. My tables are 4' wide and I still
think that students would like to have more privacy in speaking exercises.
