Five Divisions

The transformation of this university building can make the communication of all divisions improve well. The process also creates a maximal natural light that enters the building space. It becomes a new program for this building.

Space

An inviting public space can be seen on the first floor. It has a student lounge, a reception area, and also two lecture rooms. The lecture rooms can be seen easily and visible from the street outside the university building.

Design

Every design on the four upper stories creates a collaboration of teaching labs and also locating lounges at the center space. This space is surrounded by faculty and student offices too. It makes a good and maximal use of space without wasting anything.

The lounges can be used flexibly with the moving glass. It can also use to make intimate spaces by dividing it. Those intimate spaces are perfect for individual study or opened to be large-scale collaboration for learning activities.
