ABSTRACT:
A table particularly adapted for use by as many as four students in a science laboratory includes an elongated, curvilinear, flat countertop mounted to a movable support member on a fixed base. The curvilinear shape of the countertop affords flexibility in student seating and permits the table to be employed equally as well for laboratory experiments and for lectures. The support member can be raised and lowered by either a manual crank assembly or an electric motor for adjusting the height of the countertop. Disposed on the countertop is a turret assembly including a rotating base extending through a circular aperture in the countertop for housing a computer, which can be rotated 240.degree. for viewing from all locations on the countertop. A semi-circular shaped sink is mounted to the fixed base in a cantilevered manner and includes a dual-radius service ledge having water and gas fixtures mounted thereto. The cantilevered manner in which the countertop and sink are attached to the fixed base affords access to the entire laboratory table for the wheelchair bound. C-clamp upright rods may be mounted to the edge of the curvilinear countertop for performing science experiments and are stored when not in use in an elongated support member below the countertop in a hidden manner.
