Room 302B is used as a studio classroom and as a work space for students. It is a large room accommodating approximately 20 L-shaped work spaces. It is very public in scale, however it does provide some sense of boundary with wooden and metal displays which partially block the view from the hallway on the east side. The colors in the space are mostly neutral, including primarily white walls, wooden ceiling and a gray concrete floor. The only color is orange on the walls below 3 feet, colored plastic chairs and artwork high on the two-story wall. The one-story west wall is mostly windows fitted with mini-blinds. North and south walls move from one-story to two-story at about a 30 degree angle, open at the high ends to allow views of the upper floor. The east wall starts at 8 feet above the floor and runs to the top of the next floor. The space is quite symmetrical. There are 15 pendant light with fluorescent bulbs. At the time of our analysis, it was cloudy and early afternoon. Sunlight streamed in from the windows. The light was diffused, there were only soft shadows. The lighting good for task, except for glare on computers.

Our impressions were that the room was bright, open, good for community and keeps us alert. For some purposes the room would make one feel exposed, but otherwise it was a comfortable place.
