Thanks, Judi--
I just got back in the office and saw your posting. I'll follow up with
the company and would love to see photos of your lab. Thanks so much for
your response.
Lorraine

Hi Lorraine,

I highly recommend Electronic Classrooms West for furniture in 
California (http://www.eclassroomwest.com/). Frank Springer was great 
to work with and saved my lab remodel from disaster. They are based 
in Pismo Beach but have reps around the state.

We have used a "cluster" configuration in our computer labs 
successfully for many years. Our faculty told us in no uncertain 
terms that they did not want rows of computers. They wanted the 
students to collaborate, and they wanted to be able to walk around 
the room and observe and interact as well. Let me know if you want to 
see pictures of our labs.

Judi
