One of my new favorite rooms on campus is the window room (another lounge) on the 7th floor of South. It is located to the right of the elevators when you exit. The room has a really cool look to it, mostly because of the huge windows, but it’s also really high up and overlooks so much of our campus. To enter the room, one must stroll past the elevators and walk through the grand entrance way.
The entrance way is a space in its own. There are pillars that are on the sides of the entrance that really give it a special look. There is no door. The entrance is also arched, for a real royal look. Once you walk under the entrance, one can stop and sit on the floor/ edges of the walls. There is a small shelf that is just big enough for people to sit on. If you choose to continue in, you have to either go straight or turn right. There are three seating options in this room. One is the first area with a sofa, and a few chairs. The second option is a table with two chairs. The third option is another sofa and chair area that surrounds small tables that can be pulled apart and rearranged.
The tables great because they have a shelf built in underneath for any storage. The functionality of this room is great. All of the furniture can easily be moved if one needs it for extracurricular activities. I used it a few nights ago to hold my focus groups. I was able to pull all of the chairs around the table and create a circle. It was obvious I wanted people surrounding the table so when they all entered, everyone sat where I planned for them to sit. Success!
Lastly, during the day, the room is nice to use because of all the natural light. It feels like you are so high up overlooking buildings. I love it. The room also has lights built into the ceiling. There are two different types of lighting for this room. One is built in fluorescent lights and the other is three huge dome lights. During the day, the lights are usually dimmed down or turned off, but at night, depending on the need of the room, the lights are usually on. Come check out his space if you have a chance!
