Facilities Planning for a Micro-Computer Laboratory for the Administrative Sciences Department at the Naval Postgraduate School

Abstract

As computers are being used to an increasing degree throughout the military services, there is a rising demand for computer arrangements which can take advantage of the power of microcomputers. The high cost of mainframe computers, the complex software they require, and the high cost of that software is making it more attractive to use a network arrangement of smaller computers to do many of the jobs of a single mainframe. At the Naval Postgraduate School, a microcomputer laboratory is needed, both to supplement the existing computer assets, and to provide the exposure to microcomputers the students must have to be effective as managers of the information systems for which they are responsible. This thesis performs the facilities planning for a microcomputer laboratory for the Administration Sciences Department at the Naval Postgraduate School. Keywords: Workplace layout; Security.
