Statement#

Your school has an unused room and your principal would like to convert it into a cafe for all students, parents, teachers and staff of your school.

Each class is required to submit ideas of how the new cafe could be designed to better serve the members of the school as a design challenge. Based on your team’s interpretation of common needs of the school population, illustrate an ideal design for the cafe.

You may use diagrams, annotations, and sketches to support the explanation. Describe your design proposal and explain the rationale behind the design feature incorporated.
