The VIU cafeteria redesign aims to create a versatile space that enhances user experience by fostering collaboration, inspiration, and a sense of community. The inclusive design reflects VIU's values, welcoming people of all backgrounds. Biophilic elements, neutral colors, organic forms, and natural materials connect users to the West Coast landscape. The design prioritizes natural light for convenience and a visual link to nature. Intuitive wayfinding and strategic placement of elements enhance efficiency and reduce clutter, transforming the cafeteria into a hybrid space for socializing, working, and relaxation.
