Physics Laboratories
Instructor demonstration table with A/V controls for short-throw projector on white wall surface
Glass side lights put ‘science on display’ and help activate the corridors for occupants and visitors
Side walls of each laboratory are equipped
with writeable wall surfaces for use by student teams
Overhead service carriers over movable tables with dual-compartment aluminum raceways for power and data distribution
Black-out shades provide support for experiments that require room-darkening
Rear wall of each laboratory is outfitted with benches, sinks, and storage cabinets
Twelve 2-person movable laboratory tables allow for reconfiguration to support different pedagogical styles. Tables are ‘shaped’ to encourage collaborative teamwork
Two 24-station and three 32-station Astronomy and Physics Teaching Laboratories are located on the first floor and served from a Central Physics Prep Room. Each Physics Laboratory is outfitted with 2-person movable tables in a chamfered shape that facilitates collaboration among lab partners.
The movable tables are prewired with a cord and plug so that they can be plugged into central overhead service carriers, or docked at the room perimeter and plugged into perimeter raceway, allowing the labs to be used either in an ‘eyes forward’ mode or in a peninsula workshop mode.
