2. Size and Layout of KL is rather static. Administration is already working hard to optimize space. 
3. There is little space to rearrage the layout of the building
4.  TAs tend to reserve larger rooms for office hours, which is not always necessary
5.  Student have no way to reserve study space unless it is for club events
6. Students cannot see which rooms are unoccupied 
7. Adding/Renovating collaborative spaces in KL may not be possible because there is already overcrowding. Labs and Offices are at capasity

Potential Solution

1. Create a universal systems for students to check which rooms are available to use outside of the class hours.
2.  Optimize use of reserved space by using smaller rooms for office hours or combining multiple TAs into one room for various office hours

Plan of Action

1. Adapt the layout of the Library's System to KL to view which rooms are available.
2. Create an applciation to show a map and highlight the free rooms in KL, posting when they are help for classes/meetings.
3. Speak with the Dean to optimize spaces for TA's. Propose alternative spaces that are smaller or larger spaces that are condensed
