The design takes advantage of daylight to enliven the main dining area through a large curved light well which penetrates the second floor, combined with the curved path through the various food counters, creating a contemporary vibe and smooth flow throughout the commons. The second floor has traditional restaurant seating, with banquettes, separate, sky-lit quiet rooms, and lounge-style seating along with larger tables that allow for more intimate dining experiences.  Faced with a short turnaround on the first part of renovating the dining commons, the model was a crucial factor in managing the renovation.
