| Initiative Title | New Tables for Gilman Center--Library 130 |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Overview
The folding desks in the Gilman Center have been in use since 2007. In that time, the hinges, wheels, and locks have worn out. Tables are used as desks by students, faculty and staff for numerous functions; however, many are no longer safe. Some tables tilt, even when locked, and some tables have been discarded because the lock no longer works to keep the table level. The wheels of a few others have broken off and the vendor no longer sells the replacements. Folding and rolling tables are required for maximum flexibility in room layout.
In order to accommodate a 20-25 students, we will need to purchase a total of 15 new tables.
Replacement Tables
Working with Andrew Heiz (Library Director), we have been able to identify a relatively low-cost replacement form Staples: Safco Flip-N-Go 48-inch Rectangular Training Table, Model # LF2448T; Price: $588.89
Total Cost: $8,833.35 |

| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | If the tables continue to fail:
--We will be unable to accommodate In-Person and Hybrid Classes (20-25 Students).
--The space will no longer be usable for events/activities that require table space for groups in excess of 20-25. |
