For my CNNC design I tried to create a space that went from public to private. The classrooms and community areas are towards the front of the building and the office space and employee areas in the back. I used dropped ceiling panels to help you navigate through the space. My concept was lighting your path to a new life.
these are some intial sketches i drew when we first started the schematic phase of this project... i was trying to make this space feel open and airy becuase the CNNC staff seemed to thing that was important
