Classrooms should be organized for easy monitoring. Visual access to the hallway, and in some cases the exterior' is desirable.
Classrooms that include retractable partitions must provide an opening in the partition for egress and visual access as per 6A2.052(7). Niches should be provided for housing partitions when they are in a retracted position.
A lockable built-in storage cabinet should be provided in each classroom to store A.V. and multimedia equipment in a secure place. This storage area should be visible from the hallway. An alternative to the storage cabinet would be to permanently mount television and video-recorder at levels beyond reach.
