Standing Stations in back of classroroms

McMaster has a reputation for excellence in health science education and we all know of the new studies that show the poor health outcomes from sitting for several hours a day and yet, the professors teach 3-4 hour lectures with only one break and there are no standing stations.  Standing stations would help increase mobility, blood flow, attention and decrease blood stasis, back and leg pain.
