As I stand in the lobby of the Piedmont B building, I see how to the left of me there are tables for the students to sit and have discourse on various topics or to engage in late night studying.  There are multiple televisions at the entrance that are at the inhabitants disposal(though only one person occupies this sector of the space) that may broadcast the news or the latest pop video.  As I walk deeper into the lobby, there is a door that leads to a study area, filled with desktops and more tables and chairs for people to sit(though it is empty).  To the right of this door, a separate entrance to a lounging area filled with booths (that contain a small mounted tv),couches, a large window with a view of a field and the smaller Piedmont Building A, and bar seats with available with outlets. At least one person is occupying each section.

The various tables, chairs, and couches that dwell in this space give off a “relaxed” message for a potential occupant (which are the purpose for the existence of these objects in such space).  They occupy the space to provide an area for possible discussion, self-discovery, or peer recreation.  The televisions provide one message that is evident- communication.  Besides this, the overall space makes occupants adapt to the shape of the environment.  They(the occupants) can only go in specific directions due to space limitations.

Occupants of this space sit and stare at their MacBooks with various edibles in their reach.  Some are on the couches “double-tapping” their screens.  Many are moving in and out the various sectors of the lobby once they complete their initial task while some have been here for hours whether meeting with friends, studying, or waiting for their favorite series to start.  Due to it being 8:20pm, there are various groups of students inhabiting the space and displaying various emotions.

There is a group of female students in front of me having a meeting .  They chose this particular space to fit the needs of their small group.  To the right of them are two girls studying in a booth with the television being turned off.  They have put their earphones in to eliminate the sound of the group of girls beside them.  Although they could study in their room, perhaps they chose this space for the atmosphere.  Behind me, there is one girl on her laptop and one boy waiting for his favorite series to come on.  The girl  seems to have chose this space to be to herself, as she has been in the same chair for quite some time.  The boy has just sat down in front of the mounted television, maybe due to the fact he may not have one in his own room.
