This proposal incorporated the unique cross-discipline approach of providing an event space that is flexible and multifaceted for the design challenge's function to serve a hospitality space for workforce education. The elements of collaboratorium design were sought to integrate solutions that answer the wide range of challenges in the higher education environments and the stakeholders associated with this strategic partner in the region's workforce. The ideas to place synergistic spaces with 21st-century communication and cloud-based collaboration are emphasized in the primary design details that have nuances to address creative interactions. The variety of human-centered experiences should respond to the mindfulness and wellness design attributes in the atmosphere. It will be an addition to the college that has been designed to meet the goals similar to achieving the heights of reaching the top of The Pinnacle.
