PC Workstation

A small town in Western Massachusetts needed ten public access computer stations as part of an extensive library renovation. After negotiating several design changes with the architect, we set to work.

The wood is rift-sawn red oak, a special cut requested by the architect. Rift-sawn means the wood is cut in such a way that the growth rings intersect the face of the board at angles of more than 30 degrees but less than 60 degrees, which yields a straight grain appearance. This was done to match the units to the rest of the millwork in the renovation. The wood finish is natural. We applied three coats of a solvent based, commercial-grade marine urethane with UV protection, since the units are exposed to an abundance of natural sunlight. The shelves are finished with Formica (Fallen Leaves pattern) to match other shelving and countertops in the renovation.

The units feature a pull-out keyboard shelf, adjustable center shelf, and wire managers to control computer cords. They accommodate a PC, keyboard/mouse, printer, modem and other accessories. The stations are designed for stand-up use and measure 24”w x 54”h x 20”d.
