The College chose the Sanako Tandberg Lab 100 to replace its two aging analogue laboratories.
The labs are 25 and 30 position labs and eventually will both be 30 positions. The Lab 100 is the latest version 4.0.
The college used the existing furniture of the old lab, but two new master consoles where installed.
