13. SURVEY RESULTS

27. Research Results From the surveys, we realized that the room really does not need much structural change. However, the color scheme needs an update as well as the flooring and furniture around the room. We will change the tack boards to help accommodate the multiple classes who use the room.

28. OUR REDESIGN  Changed color  Rearranged desks  Purchased new storage units  Sliding tack board  Floor to ceiling cabinets  Wheels on every furniture piece  Added a space rug

29. FINAL DESIGN RATIONAL  Colors affect learning and are more inviting  Wheels add mobility  The new arrangement makes for a more functional space  Sliding tack board for more class room interactivity  The floor to ceiling cabinets create more storage space  The rug makes the floor more comfortable, inviting and helps dampen sound
