Etta sells OLED 34.4: This space was improved upon by eliminating the two large lecture halls on the north end of the building.

Following the stairs and the new lit handrails down to the bottom floor, students will find a larger cafeteria with and adjacent student lounge where they can purchase food for when they want to sit and work on a project or are on the go. Other noticeable improvements includes ambidextrous desks with cup holders, phones programmed with emergency contacts, key-code activated doors, and water fountains that allow students to more easily fill their water bottles. He demonstrated that most tables can be moved and chairs can be stacked. Also, he added, the two side entrances of the building, which were not accessible to students in wheelchairs, have been switched to exit only making the only two entrances in the front and the back. Stakenas said the renovation allowed MCLA to make the building completely compliant the Americans with Disabilities Act with movable furniture and ramps in tiered classrooms to accommodate students in wheelchairs.

Stekenas said because the building was a renovation, the contractors had to work within the confines of the Brutalist structure to alter the way it looks inside.

Now there are 13 classrooms, four conference rooms and a host of student lounges and spaces to support math, computer science, academic affairs, arts management, visual arts, and fine and performing arts.
