Furniture

As we approach the completion of the building, it’s now time to start worrying about furniture. Last week, we went through space by space and identified the furniture needs for each space. We’d already done this for the classrooms much earlier in the process, but we had not gone through and done it for the offices, lounge areas, outdoor spaces, etc.

I thought you might be interested in some furniture facts:

• There will be over 2,000 chairs in the new building.
• About 1,300 chairs will be in classrooms. You may be interested to know that we have been working on developing a Huntsman/Aggie chair to be used in all of our classrooms (please see the attached rendering of what the chair might look like).
• About 300 chairs will be in student meeting rooms, student lounges, and in the cafeteria area.
• About 200 chairs will be in outdoor spaces such as the courtyard and the terrace.
• Over 100 chairs will be dedicated for use in the big event space.
• There will be over 500 tables in the new building.

• Over 300 tables will be in the classrooms. Many of these are fixed tables for our tiered classrooms which have already been ordered and are starting to be installed.
• About 40 tables will be in student meeting rooms, student lounges, and in the cafeteria area.
• About 40 tables will be in outdoor spaces such as the courtyard and the terrace.
• About 80 tables will be dedicated for use in the big event space.
• The most expensive table will likely be the table we put in the new Board Room.

There really won’t be many desks. Only about 20. That’s because there aren’t many offices in the new building. The building is almost all new classrooms and new student meeting rooms.
