THIRD FLOOR PLAN

The third floor is divided into three parts: the auditorium, the PRRC office, and the first level of the research center.

From the elevators, users would see the auditorium first out of the three areas because it is more open to the public. The auditorium basically caters to any event, may it be a cultural event, a big lecture session from the research center, or a large scale presentation from the PRRC. The space can cater up to 150 people at a time.

Meanwhile, the PRRC office is located at the left side. Although it is noted that the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) was already dissolved in November 2019, the researcher pushed through the decision of proposing this as a main office since the major goal of the thesis is to “promote the Pasig River” as stated in the title. In order for the research center, the Pasig River Ferry Station, and the riverwalk to be a success in promoting the river, there must be a governing body that can focus in fully rehabilitating the river. With the help of the productions of the research center, the PRRC can continue its work and bring back the lively Pasig River.

Lastly, the first level of the research center is composed of the building administration office, research assistants’ lounge, the Desk Research Lab, and the Collab Office. The two latter spaces are strategically located at the bottom level of the research center because that is where all researches start: by brainstorming ideas with a co-researcher or exploration on the internet. Users can go to the fourth floor by using the reading stairs located beside the Collab office.
