The recently completed The Bill & Melinda Gates Center for Computer Science & Engineering building required a variety of writing surfaces for its assortment of rooms. Everything from lectures halls to focus rooms needed to be collaboratively enabled and we had the markerboards to do just that.

One of the most iconic components of a higher education classroom is the sliding markerboard. Whether providing additional writing space or hiding a key fact for a dramatic reveal these boards are a professors best friend. We installed both vertical and horizontal sliding units in classrooms and lecture halls. Precise field measurements allowed us to install wall to wall markerboards in the sun soaked outer classrooms. The Pacific Northwest has been on the forefront of technology for decades and with our boards enabling collaboration we’re pretty sure that won’t be changing any time soon.
