Existing State of Ground Floor
The current state of the ground floor exists for the following purposes:
Cafeteria and Dining Area
Kitchen
Meeting Rooms
Additional Office Space
Student Org. Space
The ground floor of the MUB as it stands today, presents students with an alternate on-campus dining option rather than the typical dorm-building dining halls. The cafeteria doubles as a study area with available computers, charging stations, and desk space. The ground floor also contains various meeting rooms, offices, and student organization spaces. This floor is perhaps the most complicated of the four MUB floors because of the staggering elevations within the dining area, the odd shape of the kitchen area, and the several stairwells it contains.
Our Take on the Design
Using the Revit Modeling Software, the MUB ground floor was redesigned to mimic the existing look with some minor changes. The two images below show a 3D-view (left) and a top view (right) of the ground floor. One of the main changes made to the design was eliminating the staggering elevations of the dining area. Due to limited Revit design experience, these would require much more time to fully flesh out the intracacies. Also, the flat floor design provides a simpler, more open floor plan. Furniture such as meeting tables, dining tables, couches, and sinks were added as needed. A few of the meeting rooms were opened up to create larger rooms for student organization activities.

Renovations and Goals
Renovations and Goals
Despite design progress up until this point, some additional changes can still be made to further improve the layout, appearance, and functionality of the MUB ground floor. A brief summary of these goals follows:
The view of the ground floor facing College Ave. (M-41) doesn't quite fit the opposite view facing campus
This wall should be renovated to look more appealing to visitors and students
Adjusting the look of central support columns that can be seen throughout the dining area
Adding additional furniture pieces wherever applicable
Perfecting the look of the stairwells (their design was found to be difficult)
