Description
One difficulty students in the Department of World Languages and Cultures faced was a lack of space to store and prepare food. Learning becomes difficult when basic needs aren't being met, and this area allows students to fully focus on their studies and spend time with their peers without worrying about their next meal. With space to store and prepare their own food, students have control over their dietary needs, whether for medical, religious, personal, or financial reasons, and they are able to spend more time on campus.
Room Details
Location
The entrance to the break room is directly next to the first-floor elevator.
This centralized location helps students quickly access the space, whenever needed, and make it visible to all who use the building.
Amenities
The student break room offers a place to store, prepare and warm up food brought from home by providing microwaves and refrigerators for student use. Many of these amenities serve a dual purpose as language courses are using them as students learn about the culture surrounding food.
