I was also going to mention something along these lines. We had finals in January in my first year, and I honestly don't remember just what our schedule was. But if we were to have January finals again, I'd probably delete one, maybe two meetings right before finals and stress to the students that the remaining meetings prior to finals are optional and that getting decent grades has to come first. But I'd still have meetings, and we'd take advantage of the shorter hours, too, particularly on the last two nights when most of the studying should be done with.
Along the lines of what Phyrxes said, I think I'd also plan our design process around the final exam week to make sure we know what parts to order early enough to place orders as finals are starting. Then it's not particularly painful to wait a few days for the parts to arrive.
