 The room I found and chose is the Multipurpose Room of Couzens Hall. Couzens Hall is located on the east side of the hill, along side Alice Lloyd Hall, Mosher-Jordan Hall, Stockwell Hall, and the Central Campus Recreational Building. The building was renovated with the designs created by David Battle.

Couzens Hall houses Health Sciences Scholar Program students, so when the Multipurpose Room is being used as a classroom, the room is used for lectures for the Health Sciences Scholar Program.

The Multipurpose room holds a maximum of 300 auditorium seated chairs and 220 seated chairs when there are tables that the chairs are seated around.



Something that the room included was a basic floor plan of the room of the room set up as the maximum chairs and tables to show the maximum amount of space that could be taken up, however even on the floor plan with the "maximum" amount of tables and chairs that the room could hold, the floor plan shows a section of the room where there is just space with nothing in it where, ideally, more chairs and tables could go if someone wanted to use the absolute amount of space in the room.
The room itself is very spacious with a higher ceiling than most traditional classrooms, so to have an included floor plan of what the "maximum" amount of chairs and tables with a remaining generous amount of available space reinforces the architect's purpose of the room to keep it very spacious.  

When lectures are going on in the room, the room is most likely set up as an "auditorium" seating arrangement facing either the wall opposite from the entrance or facing the windows where projection screens are available if needed.
