1 BIG Room of Relaxation

Our Team.
Piyush – furniture
Kenneth – Multi-screen TV, floor plan
Gordon – Cubicles bed, activities, fundraising
Pat – Healthy vending machine, interior (light, carpeting, wall)

Our Vision.
OCAD students are really stress majority of the time about either, projects, essays or exams. We need a place to relax in between class, or break from projects. Our vision is to renovate the 5th floor work area into a relax place.

Our Concept.
It is an undeniable fact that as OCAD students, we go through a lot of stress and anxiety. The currently OCAD does not provide us with enough areas where students can comfortably work or just to hang out. Our concept is basically a room that will take students’ minds of their stressful and busy life.

Main Features
Furniture: Window bed
Multi-screen TV: allows for Bluetooth headphone connection
Cubicles bed: inspired by Japanese Capsule Hotel
Activities/fundraising: Campus Life, such as yoga class, movie nights, etc.
Healthy vending machine: replacing all the unhealthy junk food with something better

Target Audience.
OCAD students, especially the stress ones.

Method of Marketing.
There is no fee. It is just a common area for all OCAD students to relax. It is already a common area were students “hang out” or a work on homework. We want to market it as renovation of an old boring area into something new that is strictly dedicated to relaxing. It can be a place to catch up on some sleep or just an area to read a book.

Price Point.
Free. Welcome for all students.

Our Budget.
$5000-$1000. Ask OCAD for renovation money, part can be a loan and can be paid back with activities and fundraising held after.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!

Healthy Vending Machine
Instead of all the junk food like Lays, M&M, Aero, Coke etc, it will be replaced with healthy versions of our favorite junk food.
Chips: Kettle Chips, Flavoured Rice Cakes, FritoLay Tostitos
Carbonated Drinks: Knudsen Sprizters
Juice: Oasis Juice, V8
Coffee: Green Tea, Water
Cookies: Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzels
Candy: Florida’s Natural Nuggets
Snack Bars: Kellogg’s Granola Munch’ems. Nutri-Brain
Many of these products are low in sugar and fat with natural ingredients. They might cost a little more than the usually snack, but it is still affordable.

Interior

Soft wall
This is the wall that divides and blocks disruption from the elevators and the workshop on the fifth floor. It will be a source of privacy and a noise blocker.

Flying Carpet
The Flying Carpet is interesting with a landscape that can be used as sitting areas for the TV area.
Rest of the area will remind the regular carpet to save money and it is not meant to be sat on.
The bright white fluorescent should be replaced by new lights with adjustable brightness to suit the moment.
The wall can be kept white and because of the different lighting, will help soften the harsh white on the walls.
