Observations

-Circulation in the space is not very clear and is also very tight to walk through to get to a desired seating area

-Conference spaces to the West of the cafe is glass. Is usually pretty quiet, but when people would walk out it would disturb those in the cafe space that were trying to do homework or study

-Times that have spent here visiting over the years, have never seen that the glass front be raised for natural ventilation

-Some of the tall tables near the center column are too narrow and are not comfortable when wanting to work with one person sitting on each side. It is not wide enough
