Existing Conditions
-Cafeteria and seating
-Billiards/Computers
-Offices
-Catering Services
The ground floor is home to the cafeteria, catering services, and office space. The seating area contains some computers and billiards.Â
The layout of the seating area contains several elevation changes across 4 different levels.
Renovation Plan
-Flatten floor (at least a little bit)
-Update lighting
-Add acoustic panels
Flattening the floor of the cafeteria will increase usable floor space and reduce confusion. Updating lighting could involve removing the ceiling to increase vertical space in the cafeteria and let more light in similar to the HSTEM. This in addition to LEDs and warm tones
We plan to keep the computers and billiards. To decrease the noise produced in the space, acoustic panels would be added to make the space less distracting.
