Provides hardware/software, and setup required for distance learning and streaming of lectures, programs, etc.
We will consider movable UV racks (or similar technology) to sanitize books, laptops, rooms, etc. (see below)

Facility & Building Design:
Clear social distancing signage in areas where people congregate
Automatic sliding doors at main entrance
Touchless door openers at frequently used locations
Hand sanitizing stations.
At entrances, provide wall mounted disinfecting stations with instructions.
Sanitizing wipe dispensers
Easily accessible hand wash sink in Children’s Room to encourage good hygiene

We will review and evaluate cutting edge technologies, including ways to sanitize materials, thermal scanning, UV sanitizing lighting, and other systems between now and the final design of the building. This is a rapidly evolving field of engineering and public health: we will use the best, proven, technologies available at the time of construction.
