The classroom redesign is centered around an open concept floor plan with wide swathes of open space punctuated by an orphaned central workbench in the middle. Aesthetic Lab, described by CloudForm Laboratory as a "blank canvas," has a pristine white color scheme minimally accented by cyan, magenta, yellow, and black that stimulates creativity and inspires possibility. Aesthetic Lab features a floor-to-ceiling whiteboard, a faucet and sink setup, plenty of integrated storage cabinets, and movable tables and chairs– key components of a modular layout. The concrete floor is adorned with patterns inspired by the architectural golden ratio. Due to open concept and minimalist design, Aesthetic Lab can be constantly reimagined to suit the school's needs from exhibition space to collaborative experiment zone.
