UseThis piece of furniture will help aid the transition to a paperless classroom shared by a variety of ages. Currently we use our classrooms a total of 18% of the year (40 weeks a year for 5 days from 8.30-3.30/ 365 days*24 hours). Hoping to increase the use of our schools and therefore improve their overall life cycle. This table will enable a wide variety of users to share the same room and will make the transition to a paperless learning environment possible and viable.
Designed to work with any external device which works within a network(avoiding just one operating system). The enlargement of any connected device will aid in productivity and provide a generic viewing platform for all. It will provide part of the facilities essential to being able to accommodate a more engaging and interesting learning within a classroom which will rely heavily on electronic stimulus from a variety of sources.

Network Table Sustainability
PaperlessCompletely avoids the use of any paper to facilitate learning experiences
Recycled SteelThe base is manufactured almost entirely of recycled steel. If obsolete this material can also be re-entetered into the materials stream
Durable and StrongThe use of steel, although energy intensive is justified by aiming to be durable and strong, maximising the overall lifetime, avoiding the waste cycle
UpgradabilityParts can be changed when deemed necessary without com-pletely wasting the working part. Electronic parts are replaceable as the progression of technology deems this necessary and viable
RepairabilityUsing construction and components which allow for easy repair ensures an extended lifetime
SubassembliesWhen the entire product becomes obsolete disassembly for remanufac-turing will be viable and upgrading will be easy.
