Research to Implementation:
o Versatile storage and organizational optionsCombining different sizes of drawers, cabinets and cubbies allows for different materials to be stored appropriately and maintain order.
o Collaborative workspaces Utilizing large tables, integrated with technology, encourages individuals and groups to share ideas and discuss projects.
o Minimal aesthetic Incorporating whites, black, wood tones and pops of blue allow the eye to focus on the materials selected rather than conflict with the surfaces they are arranged on.
o Universal designThe design focuses on accessibility, allows for wheelchair space and traffic flow.
o Designated space for students to order samples Developing a nook where students have quick access to place orders for samples, encourages productivity and real-world experience.RESOURCE ROOM FLOOR PLAN
