In the context of modern academic environments, the optimization of faculty spaces is pivotal for productivity and well-being among professional educators. This study project named, “SPENCE: A MODERNIZED PANTRY WITH EXTENDABLE ISLAND TABLE FOR CAFA ROOM 306,” has the general objective to develop a modern kitchen pantry design specifically for CAFA Accreditation Room 306 at the Technological University of the Philippines – Manila. Utilizing the "Input - Process - Output - Evaluation" (IPOE) model, this research systematically assessed the design’s usability and practicality. A total of fifty (50) respondents: six (6) users, ten (10) students, and thirty-four (34) professionals, evaluated the pantry design based on its functionality, strength and durability, aesthetic, economy, and safety. The mean scores for each group were as follows: 4.36 for users, 4.25 for students, 4.65 for professionals, whereas a total of 4.54 weighted mean score, corresponding to “Strongly Agree” in the Likert Scale. The weighted mean scores of the criteria of functionality, strength and durability, aesthetics, and safety were rated “Strongly Agree,” while the economy criterion received a lower rating of “Agree.” In conclusion, the study achieved its objectives, including the design, development, and prototyping of SPENCE, followed by its evaluation method. Recommendations for its further improvements include the use of laminated wood for water resistance and exploration of cost-effective materials.
