KoaLa room (exam kiosk)

The items listed below are integrated into the architecture of the space. This information complements additional details listed on both the Workplace technology and Furniture and fixtures tabs.

Refer to the Color and finishes page for additional information.

• All walls to go to deck with sound attenuation, acoustical ceiling tile ceilings with a minimum sound absorption of .75 and carpet flooring.
• Consider including acoustical wall panels and a white noise system.

Lighting should enable the Proctor to see the exam taker’s face clearly.

To achieve desired lighting lux levels and color temperature, please follow these guidelines: 

• 500 minimum lux levels 

• 3000-4000K recommended CCT Values (Color Correlated Temperature).  

• In spaces with videoconferencing, use indirect, diffused, and evenly distributed lighting. Room lighting should be completely even across the field of view of the camera.

NOTE: The illuminance of lamps affects the color appearance and should be taken into consideration when planning CCT Values.

• For furniture power specification please refer to the Furniture and fixtures tab.

Branding and signage

• It is preferred to not have any additional graphics or branding within the space as this provides opportunities for the tester to post or disguise notes.
   

Visual privacy

It is important that nobody outside this room can view the testing station screen while the door is closed.

• Our preference is for minimal to no glass walls or windows within the space.
  • No windows or glass walls allowed behind the test taker
• If the space must have windows or glass walls, they should have some means of blocking visibility in or out of the room.
  • This solution, be it glass film or shades, can be semi-transluscent but must obscure details.
  • At a minimum, we require that the glass panel be obscured from 1 meter above the finished floor to 2.5 meters above the finished floor. Full-height frosting of all windows and glass walls is ultimately preferred.

Other

• Door lock preferred, but this should be confirmed on a project-by-project basis based on operational requirements and adjacencies

• Coordinate with local FacOps on preference for allocating a day-use locker outside of the room for external exam-takers.
