When designing the cafeteria and study lounge for Community College of Aurora, a primary focus was on the form and function of the space. Careful attention was paid to the furniture, fabrics, and finishes, ensuring they were as cleanable and durable as possible for this high traffic area. It was also important that the furniture be flexible to accommodate either individual students, or grouped arrangements to create bigger meeting areas. We selected fun, playful fabrics to enhance the appeal of the space.
