11.10 The Third Place

1. The 'third place' is an area for casual comfortable conversation. It is separate from the work place and home and provides a sense of community.

2. The third place must be a more intimate, small space. It appeals to the reflective design, with a homey feel. The use of less lighting aid in a more intimate appeal. The third place needs a good location that is somewhat central, but is distinct from work and home areas.

3. I think the Cavern has potential to be a third place. It is not in a academic building and has the proper lighting and seating. It also offers cookies and tea. It needs to be better advertised as a place to chill, instead of being seen as just a place for spirituality. It could also have soft music playing to add to the ambiance.
