JSlagrange has introduced furnishing and color inside the building that was designed by SCAU to attract students to gather in the space at the heart of the establishment. two designs were proposed specifically for the campus: the entrance and the cafeteria. the designated cafeteria area is situated in the middle of the interior street. the layout of the cafeteria is convivial and open comprising a restaurant and an area to work or for relaxation. a series of platforms enables the areas to be delineated and the uses diversified by playing with the height of the work surfaces without varying the distance from the granite floor. the students have a choice of high tables, worktables and lower coffee tables, all of which furnished with colored furniture similar to the entrance space.

meanwhile the entrance has been invigorated with the installation of a row of seats. this double-use row of seating integrates with the sloping ground to form a stepped bench area that is painted in a blue to yellow gradient. this seating system allows students to pause between two lessons, but it is also a ‘line’, an arrow prompting busy visitors to cross the space to reach the reception located further on.
