[comp.edu] Space needed for computer classroom?

dave@lsuc.UUCP (04/07/87)

We're planning to set up a classroom for teaching computer
skills to Bar Admission students and lawyers (the skills required
for using a computer effectively in a legal practice, that is).
The room will have 15-25 PCs networked to a central UNIX system,
so that both MS-DOS programs and UNIX programs can be used by all.
An instructor will need to be able to wander around the room
and look at any student's screen to see what's happening.

Question: does anyone have rules of thumb as to the amount of
space we need? We're looking at several possible rooms within
Osgoode Hall in Toronto, and it's not obvious to us what numbers
of workstations we'll be limited to if we go with a room that's
of any given size.  The workstations will, I presume, be set up
in rows; I'm concerned about the space between tables as well as
the space between users on one table.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. If there's interest, I'll
summarize responses.
