Yes, all will have power and USB </p><p> o No flat screens (but maybe rough-in)</p><p> o Alternative to nap pods? They will come up with ideas </p><p> o Since there is a lot of open seating, are you concerned for noise? In the 2 seaters – the walls will go up to the ceiling, also the area is quiet study; within the single seat, the walls will go 7ft (but not all the way to the top);</p><p> o Will there be shades that come down in glass enclosed rooms? It will be glass painted – so you can see through the sides but otherwise you wont be able to see through the middle; from the room out to the open area we haven’t talked about adding anything – frosted sounds better to us </p><p> o Glass board we can write on – it will be totally opaque between so it wont interfere</p><p>. If person is writing on one side you might be able to hear it on the other side</p><p>. What about if people are talking? You might hear a little, but again it is self- monitoring – this is a quiet study area</p><p> o How long will this take? Between 3-6 months</p><p>. Starts after June 1st</p><p> o As far as budgeting goes – we might simplify furniture in order to add nap-pods</p><p> o Will there be lamps? Yes</p><p> o If we had a kitchenette with a Kurig, fridge and microwave, would that work well? Yes</p><p>. If there is a kitchen, could we eat there or in the library?
