LUNA COMMUNITY DORMS

The interior layout of the spaces encourages student community and interaction. The main circulation stair is located in the center of the dorm building to the East, allowing students easy access to dormitories, study rooms, and laundry facilities. This large stair functions as a point of socialization between students as they traverse between floors.

The elevator lobby space serves as a focal point for students and their families with an accent ceiling and designated seating area. Students can use this space to socialize, study, and host small gatherings. On the fourth floor, the areas directly adjacent to the elevator and stair lobby are indoor play spaces for families with children to socialize.
