These lecture classroom buildings are designed for a large number of students and appear to be very similar to a small auditorium. Offices and some small classrooms can also be found. Projection areas are usually a common design feature in large classrooms.
The costs include all fixed seats, built-in bookshelves, cabinets and blackboards but do not include movable equipment (e.g., projection equipment).
Availability of Elevators by Area for this occupancy: No
