What determines factors in the Placement and Career Services Center such as carpeting, type of chairs, drapes, or the temperature of the room?

Some years we are able to take advantage of carpeted space which already exists in some venues. Please keep in mind that these items can become quite expensive when the costs must be accrued by the Association. For example, carpet for a typical interview space can cost up to $60,000 and the rental costs for chairs with padded seats have ranged from $30.00 to 60.00 per chair vs. $4.00 to $7.00 for folding chairs. The cost of "pipe and drapes" to further divide the areas can be as much as $10,000 dollars. Current fees would need to be tripled or quadrupled to provide these amenities in venues that do not already provide them. In terms of room temperature, HVAC systems for these types of facilities can take hours to adjust. The space is initially cooled in anticipation of the number of people utilizing the space and then adjusted accordingly; the location of the vents is also an uncontrollable factor.
