From the outset, OJI Life Lab is a place of potential, a learning community equipping students with a playbook for life. The energy is evident at the door. A bright web of filaments overlaps a montage of inspirational images—drawing students into the portal. Interactive reception, retail, and gallery space bracket the chill space. Built entirely around teens’ input, front and rear lounges are made for meet-ups, study, and informal time—it is theirs, for them. The heart of the Lab is a versatile changing volume loosely composed of 6 mobile Modules, each a personal space capable of combining to make ‘rooms’, and reshaping the Lab for session, contemplative, or event modes.
