ISAT Lobby Redesign

The proposal for the the atrium and the spine in ISAT/ENGEO is rooted in research of academic spaces. The investigation of functional space both on and off campus encourage connections and curiosity via visual cues. These three characteristics are most easily achieved through casual, multi-functional, and well-designed furnishings that allow for collaboration, individual work, engagement, and relaxation.
