Oasis Cafe

The Oasis Cafe allows students to mingle, order a beverage or a pastry and take a break from studying. As the second level acts as an interactive space, users will travel up to the second level from the ground and first levels to rejuvenate and give themselves a break from working or learning.

The atrium overlooks the first level and the circular glass elevator, surrounded by a waterfall feature and spiral staircase. Shades of blue fill the area, and the addition of the waterfall feature surrounding the elevator adds to the ocean concept. Not only does the ocean connect us all, but it is also soothing. The waterfall feature and the different feature walls provide a soothing experience to the users as they spend time on the interactive level of the building.

Hello Wall

The “Hello Wall” features the word “Hello” written in many languages to bring representation to the space. Given that the space is designed for international students from all over the world, the design strives to be inclusive by incorporating multiple languages so the international students feel welcomed and feel a sense of belonging within the space.
