Brooklyn Technical High School's First Floor Gym Redesign by Vivian Li

The second bubble diagram shows a new proposed area. In this area, I've kept the idea of a garden in the gym and I've moved the bleachers up to give more space to the actual gym. I've also added rollable exercising mats so the students can do yoga if the teachers decided to teach it. This way, the yoga students won't need to bring their own mats to school each day. Since it's rollable, the space it occupies can be cleared. Next to the mats, I have a basketball hoop there and one directly across from it on the other side of the gym. I think having only one full court is enough in the gym. The other existing hoops should be replaced by soccer goals so we can promote more sport activities in the gym.

Great job implementing bubble diagrams. These can be very helpful in determining the relationships between spaces, evaluating user needs, flow, etc.

It would be great to understand how this would impact the physical structure vs. the equipment inside. I'm not sure I understand what it is you're trying to solve for at this point. Lots of good suggestion of what to add and/or where to move things, but not necessarily solving a design problem.
