This is a disruption as students sometimes do not plug the workstations back in, causing the machine to report errors, adding to the frustration of other students/instructors needing to use the lab workstations and limiting the ability of a student to quickly use that workstation as they need to re-plug it back in. Various students prefer to work in this space, over the student lab with hubs, suspecting that this is due to the PAS 1237 lab desk arrangement, comfort level in this space, and access to multiple white boards for note-taking and collaboration. We have shown them the other student lounge/lab space.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Proposed Solution (Experiment)<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>Install power bars at two strategic locations, known to have power disconnected. Configure the power bar and zip tie them securely to the existing secure cables per desktop to prevent the power bar from walking away. While we will need to use one outlet for power to the monitor, this proposed solution will allow 5 open power outlets for student’s personal use. This proposed solution will attempt to add more power source options for students and improve the space promoting more a collaborative environment, while reducing the unplugging of the lap desktops which reports system errors and constant rework by ACO staff. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Next Steps<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>Looking forward to feedback and observations during the next team meeting<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
