When thinking about the requirements that I have for my classroom seating and work surfaces the criteria that I developed are the following:
 * Students must be able to work independently and in various size groups
 * Seating must be easily moved into different configurations
 * Surfaces must be at a height that a student can comfortably view books, papers, laptops as well as the teaching wall of the room.
 * Surfaces must be at a level that permits teacher to view student work and laptops without bending over.
 * Chairs must be mobile, quiet, high enough to comfortably and safely work

The case goods that are currently installed in the room will remain as is with the exception of repairs to the laminate countertops on the bookcases which need to be re-glued. This is part of the annual maintenance of the building and is included in the building maintenance budget.

The new furniture is chosen for the following reasons:
 * tables lend themselves to individual and collaborative work for groups from 2 -8
 * tables are adjustable from 21" to 36" so that they can work for wheelchair bound students, standard height, or at 36" which will allow the teacher in the room to circulate and see student laptops without bending
 * chairs were chosen to be compatible with the tables
 * chairs are more comfortable than the hard chairs that are currently in the room
 * chairs are adjustable and allow for different sizes of high school students
 * teacher presentation center/work area is compact enough to fit into the space available
 * teacher presentation center/work area will contain and manage cabling from all the presentation hardware
 * teacher presentation center/work area allows teacher to work on planning and grading when not teaching
 * furniture is all standard production and is readily available through School Outfitters and.
