Hi list, My community college is currently planning out a new science facility that will be built in the next couple years. One point of discussion has been the number of student stations in each lab. Some are pushing for 28 students, but this goes against the common practice of a maximum of 24 students. Is there research supporting 24 as being the maximum safe amount? How has this number been determined? What kind of liability are we opening ourselves up to if we do have labs classes with 28 students? Thanks, Martin Eltzroth -- Martin J.
