 +===== Desk and Storage =====
 +
 +A graduate workstation is made up of components from the Steelcase c:scape furniture line.
 +A workstation includes a desk, a bookcase, a locking storage tower, and "low storage"​ (a locking drawer and open bins). ​ All of these parts have cable pass-throughs.
 +
 +The desk includes integrated **cable management**. ​ Pull the lever located under the desk surface to unlatch the desk, and slide it towards you. This reveals a channel with **power** and **network** jacks, along with space for power adaptors and excess cable. ​ Plug in, then slide the desk forward and it will latch. ​ The far edge of the desk is slightly open, so that cables can be routed from the channel to the desktop.

 +
 +The vertical white surface above the desk is a whiteboard for your use.  Only use **dry-erase markers**.
 +
 +The drawer has a felt-cushioned bottom to protect devices you put in there, and it has a **cable pass-through** to the channel at the far edge of the top of the low storage. ​ You can put a power strip in the channel and use the cable pass-through holes in the furniture to plug it in.  This way, your phone, tablet, etc., can be charging while locked up.

 +**Keys** for the drawer and storage tower are available from Danny Pinali in GDC 2.732.
 +
 +
 +===== Chair =====
 +
 +Grad student chairs are Herman Miller Aeron chairs. ​ They are highly (9-way) adjustable. ​ See the {{:​gdc:​aeron_chair_user_adjustment_guide.pdf?​linkonly|manual}}.
 +
 +
 +===== Lamp =====
 +
 +Desks come with the Humanscale Element Vision lamp.  This lamp is motion-sensing (auto-off) and intensity adjustable. ​ You only need to turn it on once, and it will turn on and off when it senses motion. See the  {{:​gdc:​elementvisionhangtag.pdf?​linkonly|manual}}.
