Faculty Lounge
“The Intersection”
Group Project
Concept Statement: The Intersection is a space for the staff and faculty of the arts and sciences department to cross paths and collaborate on projects. Walking into this room there are three designated areas: the meet, the greet, and the eat. Inside this design, you will not only find a place where meetings could be held, but you will also find an area where one can relax between classes. On your left, is a little kitchenette area where you can sit, make a cup of coffee, warm up leftovers. On your right, there is soft and inviting furniture that will allow individuals to greet one another and spark up a conversation. The meeting area is just beyond the trusses, where the existing conference table and chairs are nicely complemented by a teal accent wall. Since this is a lounge for the Arts and Sciences Department, displaying the artwork of the students and staff is made possible due to shelving and art rails installed along the walls. The cool and vibrant tones of this room are complimented by a dark oak vinyl floor which will urge you to stay up in the little eves of Maxcy 309.
