New Desks and Chairs for Two Classrooms



Initiative TitleNew Desks and Chairs for Two Classrooms
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

The desks in some of our classrooms are small and uncomfortable.  We have situations where students are unable to fit in our current desks and we have received complaints that the desks are uncomfortable for long classes.  We have upgraded some of the desks in recent years and we would like to continue this work to make the classroom space more comfortable for students.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

Some students will face the embarrassment of not fitting into our current desks and all students will be less comfortable during classes.

Department GoalsMaintain safe, accessible, and sustainable Mathematics Department facilities that support the learning environment.
