The idea behind the Design Studio is that this is a portable room that could be used in any location, couldbe used in the NJIT campus, somewhere in another city, or even another country. It will be great to have this room be a connective link of technology between NJSOA and somewhere in the exterior world. The design studio is meant to be compact for portability, and them once is placed in the desired location, the room will open and expand responding to either the environment around it, or the needs of the program and users.
