I used the design of MAGNET to remodel ITP. Placing staff and administration offices on one side and learning environments (classrooms and workspace) on the other helps to separate activity and improves navigation. Concentrating the hardware spaces (Physical Computing & Shop) on one end of the floor reduces the “skill intimidation” faced by students entering spaces with unfamiliar equipment. One issue in this redesign is it doesn’t promote “spontaneous ideation” that the open spaces in MAGNET do.
