Inquiry

This project will incorporate a multi-occupant space which will contain system furniture teacher workstations. The work stations are intended to supplement each teacher\'s desk space in each of the various classrooms. In addition, the close proximity of other teachers will facilitate focused group intra / inter departmental student discussions and instruction. School administration estimates that each teacher will spend a total of one and one half (1.5) hours to three (3) hours at or near their workstation. This estimated time is an aggregate based on an average of three (3) visits to the workstation area. Thus, each instructor occupies the space in a transient manner, spending an estimated one half (.5) hour to one (1) hour at or near their workstation per visit. Due to the transient nature of the teachers and the intermittent use of the workstations, does this space conform to the intent of a "Shared Multi-Occupant Space" especially as described on page 379 of the LEED for Schools 2007 Reference Guide?
