We solved the air vent problem by first taping a file folder to the overhead vent so it directed the flow away from our cutting stations. That worked somewhat, but not completely. So we then taped a file folder to the inside of the grate over the vent and now - no more breeze! But i can't wait to see what the maintenance people will say when they come and clean the vents - a once a year event.
Cindy Hi Josie and Chris, I've worked in labs with similar problems. Breezes are nice outdoors but cause havoc with ribbons. If you can't get them to put in a door (which you'll probably have to lock since folks will walk in, shut the door and cause a breeze that way) then how about those fuzzy cubicle walls? The ones that are used in prairie dog farms (I mean open office situations ;-) ). Also, you'll need to install some type of baffle or other item that hangs from the air ducts and deflects the air across the ceiling instead of straight down. Good luck!
