K-8 Computer Lab

This is my first year teaching in our K-8 school. Our lab is currently arranged in 4 pods of 6 computers/pod + 2 extra computers along a wall. I have been told in the next two years we are going to rearrange the room since having the pods allows for students to use other programs than what we are working on (can only see 3-4 monitors at a time. My questions are: how are your labs arranged? What do you like/not like about this? What would your dream lab be?
Thanks for the help!

They came with the lab when I started the job. I did not like the pods. Since then we have purchased tables that go the perimeter of the room with an island in the center. With two or three steps, I can see every computer in the room. I love it!!! Not sure where the new tables came were purchased. I designed the layout and they got me the tables.
