Johny Radio: I disagree with this proposal to:
-move LOUD activities to the BACK of the space,
-and move QUIET activities to the FRONT [of the space.
Here's why: that's fighting the natural acoustics of our environment.
-The front of the space is plagued with street noise. To put quiet activities at the street side will require keeping the front windows closed, to keep out street noise (if you really mean quiet)-- and possibly additional sound-proofing. We need the ventilation and outside light up there.
-The rear of the space is naturally quiet. It's so peaceful and serene in the rear-- no street noise at all. Quiet activities can effortlessly achieve quiet in the rear of the space, even with the rear windows open.
