Entry Exhibition
As soon as visitors walk in, they will be greeted with the history of the Krueger-Scott Mansion. Photographs will be shown on the walls, and chairs mimicking salon hair dryers will provide a listening experience that can only be heard while being seated.

Grand Coworking Room
As the original "main room" in the mansion, this coworking space will provide a sophisticated and contemporary take on the mansion. The artwork shows the pre-renovated stairs to add a juxtaposition between new and old.

Louise-Scott Library and Coworking Room
The feminine space acts as a library, allowing visitors to read about the history of Newark, as well as read pieces published by local Newark residents. The additional coworking space allows for more people to work amongst each other, inviting collaboration.

Gottfried Krueger Pub
The pub will be open at 5PM to provide a space for people to come and visit after work. Heavily inspired by Krueger's brewing company, the pub is a chill place to unwind and meet people. This space can also be rented out by larger parties and transform into an event space.
