Highlights

2 PC labs with a total of 80 PCs were designed and fully equipped. The two PC labs immediately took on a supra-regional significance after their completion. Thus, these were also "rented" to other schools so that they too could conduct the required electronic exams there.

Project goal

Creation of a computer lab for approx. 3500 students*.
