Hello,



We applied and received a grant from our student technology fee program. We have ordered 6 (of what will be 10) study pods to install over the December break. We are still investigating an ADA compliant pod (which will need an extension coming from the fire sprinklers to pass code). There have been hidden vendor costs, and the process has taken a very long time. The two main vendors we are looking at are:

Framery<https://room.com/pages/office-privacy-booths?source=google&medium=search&campaign=19312005969> (highest quality, adjustable desk height, very soundproof, higher end of the cost scale)

OpenSquare<https://www.open-sq.com/services/architectural-solutions>



Our first order is with Framery:

We have 21 group study rooms that are almost always full. We are hoping that adding these for individuals will free up the group rooms for actual groups.

Hi all,



We have both single<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.agati.com/product/pod-study-carrels/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!genp117aWxWo3iR7PxG9eVuxQkRdVCZuIYr60v2RFkKMzKH9urSUw8jsI-WP34gAKZM4Hqbhw92Tpizp3T1pmDkjQA$> and double pods<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.agati.com/product/pod-duo-study-carrels/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!genp117aWxWo3iR7PxG9eVuxQkRdVCZuIYr60v2RFkKMzKH9urSUw8jsI-WP34gAKZM4Hqbhw92Tpizp3T3JWNHbJA$> from Agati. Singles cost $5,803 each and doubles cost $8,466 each, not including installation and tax. Our college goes through Workpointe for furniture purchases.



I hope that is helpful! Students love those pods.

Subject: [EXTERNAL][LIBRARYDIR] Pods?



Hello,

Some folks mentioned at LLC last week that they had acquired some study pods for their libraries. Would you be willing to share more details about what you purchased, costs, etc.? Links would be great!

Thank you,

Dawn
