Computer Lab seating plan for 18 students
Forward-facing rows with a computer at every seat and a wide center aisle. This version is built for a class of 18.
How the seats are placed
Rows face the screen, every seat has a computer (18 in this plan), and the center aisle is two cells wide so you can walk behind chairs without standing on a cable.
For 18 students, the plan uses 3 rows of seats, and every student row seats 6. The editable grid is 10 cells wide and 9 cells tall, counting the front of the room. A center aisle runs through the student block. Each student seat includes a computer, 18 in total.
Computers facing the front let you see screens as you walk the aisle. The aisle is wider than a normal classroom gap on purpose: you need to pass behind a chair without catching a cable or reading over the wrong shoulder.
Use it when
- Typing, coding, and research lessons
- Watching a demo and then doing it
- Rooms where you must see screens from the aisle
Pick something else when
- You want students to collaborate on one machine
- The lesson does not use devices
