The inspiration of the Senior/Child Mentor Center makes the use of modular spaces that can be subdivided and munipulated to adapt to the needs of the users. The spaces within are comprised of moveable partitions and mobile parts, that provide diversity to the rooms and allow for numerous activities. The design also incorporates the collaboration of seniors and children together as a learning opportunity; each age group learning from each other.
