“Keep technology rooms connected with a door so it is easy to pass through to resolve problems quickly. We had originally wanted to put a window between the rooms; I am very glad that we did not because it would be very distracting for the students, and you need someone in each room.”
Amy Pressman summed up: “Jim Quinn has put together a terrific package of products focused at the school market. From manufacturing through installation they have proven themselves to deliver a quality product at a reasonable price. As the field has become more specialized, Jim is especially helpful at the front end as you are planning a project.”
