[ Traction! He and Edwin have had a perfectly decent working relationship, albeit a basic one. He's pointed out the spots he couldn't clean and Edwin had assisted as such. He'd hardly wanted to lean on the other warden without a good opportunity. Now, however-]
My thoughts were something like, oh, say a basic meditation room for the central area, smaller but built to accommodate the desire for peace the previous structure served, with rooms available to- well, perhaps not to rent but to fill while one is on board to serve one's faith as needed. After all, it's rare for more than three or four people to share traditions here, no? Why have a great big space no one will ever fill?
This way a room may accommodate prayer rugs, or an altar, or candles as one's faith allows. A way to celebrate one's faith instead of shuttering it away shamefully: that's all I seek. What do you think?

But he likes the idea. He really does.] That sounds nice. Maybe--plants in the central space, some decorative, but more... useful, meaningful ones, ones people need to use sometimes. Like sage or tulsi or sandalwood.
I think that would be a lovely idea. Perhaps we could even ask those who would be interested in such a space for their ideas. Design the space around the people, as it were.
