Optimal Computer Workcenter Lab Enviornment for a Non-Profit

Question

We are setting up three 20 station computer work areas  for a non profit that does homeless services. These labs will be places for clients to come in throughout the day and get resumes done, do job searches etc. We have 20 new dell workstations /
Windows 8 Pro.  We need to set these up where multiple users can come easily sign in and start doing work but we want them to be fixed desktops that cannot be altered (GPO) and easily managed.  Is Desktop Virtualization the best way to go? thanks
for any input..

Hello Generating a Unique Transaction Number，
If my understanding is right, you want to have 20 computer for homeless service, and you want easily sign in and manage.
We could create standard user account for homeless service.

Use the UAC to limit the permission of standard users.

This article is about Windows 7, and the Windows 8 is similar.
