NOVA desks by SMARTdesks

These are the self-same multi-purpose computer desks that have been making computers and monitors disappear from the desktops of classrooms since their introduction in 1990.

The Nova Solutions patented, fully-adjustable monitor support system offers the advantages of the Downward Gaze™ Ergonomics. Click to download a pdf to learn more about the design rationale.

Glass-top Computer Desks allows students the opportunity to do research and writing without having to move to a computer lab.

In addition to a clear work area, the fully encased computer is less succeptable to damage, theft or abuse. All cables are concealed and conveniently routed through horizontal and vertical channels within the desk.

Finally, the sub-surface configuration provides an ideal testing environment. With the CRT screen set at the correct depth and angle, total privacy is possible without walls and only a few feet of separation.

NOVA desks by SMARTdesks creates a positive, personal learning environment. The recessed-monitor system of the Computer Classroom provides an unobstructed view between students and their instructors, facilitating the learning process. Computer hardware and wiring is more secure from damage or theft and clutter is reduced.

These viewing angles and distances are supported by studies in the fields of ergonomics and optometry. We position the computer 30 inches or more from the eye and 20-50 degrees below horizontal eye level, depending on the user’s eye height and posture. By positioning the screen to provide the user with a Downward Gaze™, we address primary physical ergonomic requirements by reducing neck and back strain and visual ergonomics by conforming to the way our eyes work.
