As you go in and turn right, on your right is the<strong>lounge area (2)</strong>with easy chairs, sofas, etc. There's a TV, DVD player and music centre here. Beyond these is the communal<strong>kitchen area (3)</strong>with the side nearest the lounge being a bar with several high stools.<br/><br/>All that's needed in the kitchen - sinks, cookers, fridge-freezers, dishwashers, laundry washing machines are under the worktops. Above the worktops both sides are glass fronted and backed cupboards for crockery. These hang from the ceiling with a space below to pass things across the counters to the bar or dining area.<br/><br/>Beyond the kitchen is a big communal<strong>dining table with bench seating (4)</strong>. The students receive main meals in the school restaurant but can prepare their own breakfasts here if they wish and cook at weekends or later in the evening.<br/><br/>Beyond the dining area is a sound-proofed partition for the library and general<strong>communal study area (5)</strong>which is supposed to be a 'quiet zone'.<br/><br/>As you turn into the lounge area from the entrance, to your left are the<strong>communal showers (6)</strong>and<strong>toilets (7)</strong>. At the end of the row of sinks is a<strong>machine dispensing feminine supplies (8 )</strong>. Behind a partition are two sets of<strong>shower cubicles with lockers/changing tables opposite (6)</strong>. The shower cubicles have smoked glass fronts and sides.<br/><br/>The pale grey area is a general<strong>chillout zone (9)</strong>with games such as table tennis, darts, mini-football, a couple of pinball machines and a zone at the far end with<strong>beanbags and games consoles with a TV set (10)</strong>.<br/><br/>There are two<strong>fire exits (11, 12)</strong>indicated in the corridors.<br/><br/>There are six dormitory bedrooms each sleeping four students.<br/><br/>Each dorm is divided into 'personal spaces', each contains a bed with bedside cabinet, a desk with bookshelf over for studying and a small wardrobe for clothes. The partitions between beds are about head height.<br/><br/>The three dorms across the top of the hall are<strong>'Lilac' (13)</strong>,<strong>'Peach' (14)</strong>and<strong>'Cream' (15)</strong>for girls. The dorms down the right side are<strong>'Red' (16)</strong>,<strong>'Green' (17)</strong>and<strong>'Blue' (18)</strong>for boys. From left to right or top to bottom the beds are numbered 1 thru 4.<br/><br/>As well as the dorm windows there are<strong>large windows (19)</strong>all along the wall that fronts the corridor - the end of the dining table, at the end of the kitchen area and the outside wall of the lounge area.<br/><br/>(I've added the notes to the top of the dorms thread, Combi can copy thplan in when she gets a moment).<br/>
