A & D Building Issues

Our team has a problem with the fact that there's no central collaboration areas and a space to feel comfortable. We also would like a more legitimate food court in the building, to draw students in. We had an idea to create a glass overhang to separate the courtyard into an open room so students could work together in a natural environment, closed from the elements in the winter. In the summer, glass panels would be replaced with screens to create a 'porch' environment. Here, there could be some sort of food court possibly. Plant beds would be placed in the interior part of the courtyard to keep it natural and inviting. This way, the courtyard's space could be utilized and be kept as an 'outdoor' environment for events in the summer as well as an indoor space in the winter. Designers (landscape architects and architects, etc) should be hired to understand the space and configure it to fit the well being of students.
