Yasmina Chami - 100 McCall St

OCAD U 5th Floor

CLIENT BRIEF

The client that I will be designing for is the OCAD U student union. They have expressed to me that currently the space on the fifth floor does not encourage them to work due to the lack of:

Clean and quiet work space

Open and individual working space

Lack of desks for student to work on

Lack of storage

Lake of displays to showcase one’s work

Lack of high quality furniture

Lack of charging units/ expansion cords

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

My goal is to recreate the OCAD U 5th floor by creating a light, bright, transparent and welcoming space with an airy feel that dose not only look good but functions well for design students and faculty. I will do so by creating more workable spaces for students with bigger desks, definition of quiet and loud spaces, better storage facilities, better place for thesis students to work in, and so much more. The goal is to create a space that’s work, lounge, and play friendly.
