Classroom Spacing Calculator - Coronavirus FAQ

- No, the tool uses rectangular area inputs for length and width; irregular shapes will require manual adjustment of the dimensions to approximate the usable space.
- What units should I use for desk and room measurements?
- The calculator accepts consistent units; you can enter room and desk dimensions in either feet or meters, and the result will reflect the chosen unit.
- Does the tool consider the teacher's desk or other furniture?
- No, the calculator only factors in student desks and the specified minimum distance between them; other furniture must be accounted for separately.
- Is the six-foot distancing rule built into the calculator automatically?
