A vibrant, high-angle view of the STEM Learning Center through a glass partition. In the foreground, several tan, modern armchairs with built-in circular side tables are arranged on a polished floor. Beyond them, students are seated at light-wood rectangular tables, working on laptops and collaborating in small groups. The space is well-lit with overhead linear lighting and features glass-walled study rooms along the left side and informational posters on the far wall.

Four people sit in a semi-circle on mobile lounge chairs in a sunlit room, each using a tablet mounted on a built-in swivel desk. The group, appearing to be students or colleagues of diverse backgrounds, are smiling and engaged in a casual discussion. A round coffee table sits in the center of the group, and large windows in the background look out onto trees.
