An inviting, multifunctional, and transformable learning space that prioritizes future adaptability and affordability.

This cost-conscious proposal keeps costs down by making minimal changes to the existing layout and using simple, prefabricated, deployable "furniture elements" (that can be built by students) to create spaces for collaboration and independent work. These pieces and be moved around the space as needed and can be replaced easily as needs change.
