CEIT 325 Classroom
Instructional floor where student workstations become access points into SOTE.
OpenWhere the story becomes infrastructure
Named SOTE Zones turn rooms and racks into mission environments.
Each zone has a role, keywords, character connection, and a link to a detail page that can later hold photos, diagrams, equipment lists, and approved student missions.

Approved SOTE Zones overview
This recovered approved visual is the current zone overview media baseline.
Named SOTE Zones
“Zones” replaces “spaces” because it sounds more intentional, more student-facing, and more connected to the environment map. Every zone now has a purpose, student role, character layer, mission connection, and a concept visual that can later be replaced with approved photos.
v0.8 zone media pass: Zone pages now include concept visuals and current-state descriptions instead of public-safe placeholder copy.
Map note: This page and the current clickable map are conceptual. A future version should arrange the zones according to the actual room layout after we document the facility with a sketch, photos, or a simplified floor plan.
