In response to the challenges faced by CAFA-Atrium users in self-
preparation in department events, a group of researchers has dedicated their

efforts to crafting an ingenious solution:” Alfmoor: A Portable Changing Room
with Vanity Area for The Enhancement of TUP CAFA Atrium”. Recognizing the
unique needs of users struggling with the logistics of event preparation, this
innovative equipment provides a versatile and portable solution that seamlessly
integrates into the space where preparation of users takes place: Kalayaan Hall.
The researchers began by conducting a thorough analysis of the struggles faced
by users, identifying the need for a dynamic, on- the-go solution for performers who
require quick and efficient personal grooming and outfit changes. The changing
room with vanity component of the system offers a foldable structure and
addresses the requirements of performers in need of a dedicated space for makeup
application and accessory adjustments. The entire system is mounted on caster
wheels, allowing for effortless mobility across the floor, ensuring that performers
can position themselves conveniently and make the most of the available space.

The researchers’ surveyed 50 respondents that are possibly be the end-
users of the project consisting of 10 professors and 40 students. The findings

demonstrate that the respondents' opinions of the project or product are favorable.
Functionality was given a rating of 4.72 because it satisfies the criteria of
ergonomics, ease of operation and its user friendliness. Next, the Workability
received a rating of 4.71 for having the used materials easy to be seen in
hardware’s and the store of the specific material. Durability on the other hand, were

given a rating of 4.71 since the testing of the prototype proves that it is qualified to
the criteria or quality in materials. Fourth, Aesthetics and appearance are the
qualities of the product on its physical aspect. In this section, Aesthetics and
Appearance got an average score of 4.6. Lastly, 4.75 average ratings in security
provides the information that the product is safe to be utilized by the users. The
Ease of Operation has the highest mean of 4.82. This simply demonstrates the
successful project Alfmoor as a mobile self-preparation equipment and a great
design choice for those that utilize and perform at the CAFA Atrium. An overall
mean of 4.72 was deemed "Excellent".
The following are the recommendations based on 40 students and 10
professors’ respondents who evaluated the survey questionnaire and from three
(3) respected panelists. They recommend that research thorough with regard in
cultural significance of the country, the corner must not have sharp edges. To
improve the prototype, add some quality mirrors on the changing room, some
cover to make the LED lights less distracting for the user, simple design to the
vanity area, a space or compartment for Foldable Chair and instead of using
materials that have a single provider, use materials that have different choices of
store.
