Planning Rationale
The Staff Lounge provides a space for staff to eat, meet, work independently and is a location for all faculty to interact with one another.
Design Considerations
Location
he Staff Lounge shall be planned for a second or alternatively for a third floor location. This area shall not be contiguous with the Administration Suite, which has its own pantry.
Program Adjacencies
A student printer is to be located near or adjacent to the Staff Lounge within a niche off of the main corridor. Proximity of this printer to the staff lounge allows for passive supervision of the printer.
Flexibility
As a defense against overcrowding, the Staff Lounge shall have infrastructure that would allow transformation to a standard classroom with minimal modification.
