Notes, no photograph

Matthew has not found a photograph of a room at this college yet, so what follows is about rooms of that kind rather than about one room. A photograph and a review of a particular room are still to come.

01

What are the good design elements in this room?

The rooms use beds, desks, and storage to create areas for studying and resting. Windows are important because they provide daylight and fresh air.

02

What is special in the design?

The room design shows how students can adapt a compact space to meet their academic needs.

03

What could be improved in this design?

More shelves and brighter desk lamps would help students organize materials and study after dark.
