Where students once sat on floors between classes, avoiding spending more time than necessary. The building's common areas are now occupied by a minimum of 60 students at any given time. The solution drew students from beyond the Modern Languages faculty. This behavioural shift required no renovation budget to produce. With three floors furnished, the building's spatial identity changed by what was added to it, not what was rebuilt.
