Issues/Challenges of Studio Room 405:
Low Utilization: The studio space is underutilized, with only an average of 4-5 students using the desks each semester.
Lack of Medium-Sized Classrooms: There is a shortage of medium-sized classrooms suitable for the Department of Architecture.
Preference for 5th Floor Desks: Second and third-semester students prefer using their individual desks on the 5th floor.
Large Space Management: The large size of the space makes it challenging to use effectively.
Lighting Issues: The room is poorly lit, necessitating the replacement of fluorescent lights.
Temperature Control: The large space makes temperature regulation difficult, resulting in low energy efficiency when using air conditioning or heating.

Maintain Emergency Staircase: The emergency staircase space will be preserved.
Desk Utilization for First-Semester Students: Encourage first-semester students to use the remaining desks in the studio desk area if needed.
Future Improvements (Phase 2):
