Statement#

The College prides itself on fostering a collaborative academic environment. This environment is possible largely due to the design of the student spaces. There is a trade-off, however; with some of these design choices (e.g., glass walls), comes distraction.

You are tasked with generating new solutions that enable collaboration in your desired study spaces while limiting distractions as much as possible. There are no wrong answers - solutions of all kinds are welcome!
