Re-modeling our Physics lounge! October 20, 2009 8:54PM UTC
JFuchs 4 Posts	So we are currently in the process of trying to re-model our physics lounge and I was curious what makes a great physics lounge. We have three uses for our lounge- homework, SPS meetings, and receptions before seminars. So we have to balance the use of all three. Currently we just have some tables, couches, computers and storage space. What does everyone else have? Thanks for the help! Login to reply
