Student Charging Stations :: PIP System (SUNY Orange)

Student Charging Stations Print All

Initiative Title	Student Charging Stations
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	This initiative is to convert student common areas into active device charging stations. Students want to charge their devices while they are still available for use and providing electrical outlets at the cafe tables and lounge furniture will provide a mechanism for students to be productive during charging times before, between, and after classes.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Students will continue to search for available electrical outlets to charge their mobile devices. This can cause them to be unproductive and could pose a safety hazard as students stretch device charging cords across ingress and egress areas. Savings could be realized by retrofitting some existing furniture, but the ability to move furniture would be reduced.

Prioritization Notes

Level 4

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

Whereas it may seem like the requested technology (furniture with built-in charging equipment) might be appealing to the student and lead to a development of student community and use of campus space, the committee decided that the cost of such furniture involving an ever-evolving technology would not be financially responsible. Additionally, the student representation on the committee felt that the type of charging station suggested in this initiative is not necessary and would prefer that our college resources be invested in other initiatives.
