The given images depict how a student common room has evolved over a five-year period.
Overall, several noteworthy developments include the complete elimination of some old features, the introduction of new amenities, and the addition of a microwave, while a vast majority of utilities remain unchanged.
Five years ago, the upper area featured a cluster of adjacent facilities, encompassing a cupboard, a sink, a couple of benches, a microwave, and a refrigerator. Furthermore, there were four circular tables in the middle of the room, and each table contained six chairs, while a bookshelf was located on the lower right corner of the layout.
By present, the upper left-hand round table has been swapped for a rectangular table surrounded by ten chairs, whereas the lower right-hand circular table and the bookshelf have been moved to make space for a row of armchairs and a television, which is positioned below these armchairs. Moreover, an extra microwave has taken the place of the right-hand bench, while a drink machine and a bench for laptops have been introduced to the right-hand side and the central bottom of the map. It is also worth noting that the remaining facilities remain untouched.
