Convergent Thinking - Feature Selection
Based on the ideas we came up with during the divergent thinking process and the MVP features we need, the Sustainable Library will present the following features:
Active Workstations: The Active Workstations will provide standing, treadmill, or bike desks that allow students to stay engaged in learning while remaining physically active.
- Inside the triangle room/ soundproof pod
- Hwheels and it can merged with other workstations
- Slidable Door
- Can merge with other workstations
- Blinders included ( if no one it is transparent, else covered )
- Soundproof with acoustic panels
Phone box: For each seat, there will be a phone box on the desk that periodically lights up, reminding you to take a break. The phone box will prevent users to get distracted from their phones as it will lock once the timer starts and it will open only for the breaks.
The desks will also have engraved and printed images and written information explaining efficient studying methods such as active recall and the Pomodoro technique.
Zen Huts: The 3 themed Zen Huts will be the perfect spaces where students can rediscover their mind pace, relax and meditate.
- 3 Themes:
- The Garden Zen Hut will feature plants, benches, and water fountains.
- The Beach Zen Hut will provide a serene experience with sand on the ground and the soothing sound of the sea
- The Meditation Zen Hut will feature guided meditation through thought-provoking questions on the walls, encouraging students to reflect on their academic journey in a modern art-inspired ambiance.
- There will be light pathways to guide you to the zen hunts there also.
