Flexibility and Variety
The space needed to be flexible to accommodate a variety of uses for individuals, small groups, and large meetings, while being adaptable to the changing needs of student athletes, tutors, and permanent staff.
SRG understands that students thrive in a variety of environments. Some students need a loud and social area to engage in while they study, and others need solitude and quite. Our design accommodates a wide spectrum of study environments. The main entrance, featuring the bold W and purple dog tag reception desk, has a vivacious lounge perfect for teammates who need a high-energy zone to do their best work. The back entrance has a smaller reception desk and offers a quieter lounge area for teammates who need a tranquil space to inspire their study.
The computer lab has a bar height counter with computers for drop-in use, a printing station, as well as circular tables and dens for small group and private study areas. The furniture in the room can be moved aside to transform the room into an auditorium for large meetings.
There are 10 tutoring rooms that can be reserved and accommodate 4-6 people. The acoustical privacy was upgraded to maximize productivity.
Windows were added in the permanent staffing areas, so that individuals who are in the center all day have a comfortable working environment with access to natural light.
