Replace all old wooden chairs in lab rooms



Initiative TitleReplace all old wooden chairs in lab rooms
Submitted in Previous Year(s)2020
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

The lab rooms are utilized by MLT students, Phlebotomy students, Nursing, Biology and Business Office Technology students throughout the year (Spring/Fall/Summer, day and evening sessions).  These rooms are used not only for lab space but also for classrooms. Students are in danger of injury from these chairs that are falling apart. They are old and wooden and do not have height adjustment capability which makes the student learning experience less than desirable.  New, adjustable chairs with back rests would make a better learning environment for the students who are in these chairs for at least 2 hours every lab period.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

Injury can result from chairs falling apart as well as possibly causing neck and back strain since the current chairs are not adjustable to the height of the equipment or lab bench. 

Newer, adjustable chairs with a back rest are safer and more comfortable for student use.

Department GoalsReplace all old, wooden chairs in all 3 MLT/Phlebotomy/Microbiology lab rooms ( BT315,BT317, BT319)
