Design One
This is my first design, everything has been included in my design, there are a big enough room for the display, there is a discussion room and a working place enough for 25 student and more, the storage rooms is big and enough space for many student to come and get their supplies, in the working room, i try to make the room as much natural light as possible and in the working room, there are fire extinguisher, first aid, emergency shower and emergency i wash including 2 sinks for sanitation. I thought this design has many space for students to go around and i tried to make the emergency exit as close to where the student and teacher will most likely be but on the other hand, the display room and the storage room is a bit to big and the working room needs to be expanded a bit more.
Design Two
This design has many space to walk around, the storage room is very small and there are only four shelf, the main room is the display and working room together, so parents or others could come in and see the students work and also see the student working in their current project. I thought this design has too much space and needs be filled up, most of the emergency items and rooms are a bit far from which is not safe because if there is any situation that a student or a person either cannot move a lot or something similar the emergency items will not be in great use. There are tow big tables especially for students who needs to use computer next to each crafting tables. This design is not the best out of all my three design because there are too many space but i also like the idea on how i made a display room and the working room connected together because it would be nice for other people to see what we are doing and our work for display.
DesignThree
This is my last design, this design was very different from all the design, there is no door to go to the other room but a quarter of the wall is cut so many people can walk to the other room easily, there are 3 big table which students can work easily, a discussion table big enough and close to the working tables but i didn't implement a place for a teacher to be in. This room as the most natural light out of all the design and the storage place for the student is close and easy for them to reach. The fire hose is placed in the middle of two room incase of two rooms on fire, there are fir extinguisher placed in the storage room on the opposite of the emergency exit. The first aid kit are placed in the storage room and also at the middle of the two rooms on the left.
