The Max Room

4th Floor North

New Furniture Installed

Summer 2024
Updates and improvements to the Max Room are ongoing. Charging stations were installed throughout the room, and booth seating and high table seating were added along the walls.

In the next phase, existing stationary tables in the center of the room will be replaced with mobile, collaborative style furnishings, which will allow the room to be reconfigured for multiples purposes.
