Café | Dining Spaces

Eat. Work. Learn. Socialize.

The café as study hall is nothing new. Intentional design that encourages active learning is. Students, faculty and visitors are all drawn to a café. Students use them to socialize, study and collaborate with classmates. Staff and faculty utilize them for classroom prep, as a meeting space and to socialize with colleagues. To function, they should incorporate a mix of welcoming spaces, large and small, quiet and loud, public and somewhat private. Like other non-traditional educational spaces, cafés and dining rooms are becoming more important as extensions of the classroom.
