As a team, Michael, Lauren, Sarah, and I, are to evaluate one location in the Studio Arts Building. We decided to take on the Critique Space on the 4th floor. We are to evaluate it using a check list given to us. Our team description of the space is: "The crit room is primarily used for meetings, critiques, and class. In the daytime (sunny days) the light is natural and very bright, during cloudy or rainy days there is barely any natural light and the track lights are turned on. They only cast light on the walls and leave the center of the room darker. The space is small compared to the rest of the studio spaces, but rather large in general. It is not intimate because there is no ceiling and whatever is said in the space can be heard in the surrounding studio spaces and vise-versa. Overall our impression of the space is that it should have been planned out better in terms of lighting and acoustics. The designer should have thought about that the room was going to be used for. For example when a projector needs to be used on a sunny day, there is no way to shut off the natural light coming in so the screen is very hard to see.
Here are a couple pictures of the space as well as the evaluation spreadsheet.
