Considerations
The viewers in the back of the room are quite far from the screen. Use a larger size font, if possible, for presentations.
Ceiling lights are wired in banks, so the front bank, nearest the screen, can be turned off, to reduce the ambient light shining upon the screen, which washes out the projected image.
The projection screen is placed above--and therefore does not obscure--the dry erase board.
