James Lounge
This project challenged us, as students, to reimagine an existing space to create a neurodiverse-friendly environment. We thoroughly assessed and redesigned a space within Tulane's LBC
Our work was guided by the question:
“How might James Lounge be transformed into a neurodivergent-centered space that fosters rest, supports emotional regulation and well-being, provides sanctuary, and encourages hyper-focus?”

Responsibilities:
Research
Zoning
3D physical model
Group Work
Each group member individually designed and iterated on different features of the space, incorporating their ideas into the final model
Zoning
The design considers noise and comfortability, with the space ‘divided’ into different zones that grow from silent study spaces to collaborative spaces that support all
3D model
The creation of the 3D model involved continuous iterations, incorporating the group's evolving ideas
Proposal Exhibit
The team presented the project to their peers and the director of the space
