Scope Lecture Tables


The Gatton College of Business and Economics is one of the top business schools in the nation. The Gatton Building, which achieved LEED Gold Status, houses both undergraduate and graduate studies. It includes multiple tiered classrooms with a highly customized lecture table system. The graduate lecture rooms feature a radiused table system with full-height wood-grain panels for a high-end aesthetic.
The specialized courses in graduate school require learning spaces that serve the purpose of both lecture and collaboration. The fixed oblong tables provide opportunities for break-out sessions and peer-to-peer learning. Have an aha moment and need to jot down a few notes? Glass markerboards are conveniently mounted on the lecture tables. All of the tables are equipped with an undercounter plug-and-play electrical system and ample kneespace. Details matter. The attention to them enhances learning.
