Post Occupancy: Changes Made As A Result Of Feedback
They haven't made any changes yet as this is a prototype set up to get feedback for the second phase in a new build.
At the moment there is a row of networking cables to connect power and networking along the edge of the table. In future they will be run down the centre. Cables will also be fitted with retractable pulleys so that they go back into the designed space.
For the next facility they have ordered LCD screens which gives almost as a good a display quality but doesn't suffer from the burn that you get on a plasma screen.
