• baisang: could replace one of the double monitors stations with an ultrawide instead CO2 monitor? could be useful to know if CO2 levels are too high
• asai will put one on the buysheet Chairs? We should talk to SUFMO about buying more instead of buying our own, since that's how we get our current chairs Projector could be useful for people reserving the lab, expensive though Jarvis desk?
