In order to succeed, one must get enough sleep, to feel rested and be productive. Unfortunately, college students find themselves sleeping in many public places such as the library, in classrooms, in the student union, in their cars and outside. This can be very dangerous, as students can become harassed or have their exposed belongings stolen while they are in a vulnerable state of sleep.

 Universities are always impacted with space because theirs many students and not enough class rooms.  We sketched several shapes that would optimize space such as stacking , flat packed, and modular pods. 

Testing Scaled Models for Space Optimization 

Based on the trailer dimensions  we wanted to deploy as many sleeping pods in a trailer. Some of the sleeping pods where not space efficient. Stacking pods would be the most efficient and confortable for the students. 

Final sleeping pod design optimized space with out affecting the students comfort. 

Deploying the Sleeping Pods

For the first year the the trailer will be located near the SJSU  or on their parking lot. This trailer will serve 12 students at a time. The attendant will manage and maintain the sleeping pods cleaned. 

SNUZ Design Features

Each SNUZ unit has a smart light bar that will assimilate the morning sun rise. The round glass door can darken to increase privacy. A memory bed is provided to increase comfort and a modular desk.  The beds will be covered with a high grade anti bacterial sheet that will kill bacterial instantly.  

Different color combination based on school colors

CMF exploration. We found potential to cater the CMF of the product to the location. For example, number 6 can be the version of our products specifically for SJSU. 

How to reserve the SNUZ sleeping pod 

The students will need to  download the SNUZ app in order to reserve a time slot. Signing in with their student email will give them access and reduce the cost of the reservation. The system will charge a fee in advance and the payment will go through after the student has checked out

Checking in and Signing off

The display will facilitate the signing in and checking out process. If a student decides to drop in with out reserving he or she will see sleeping pod availabel, in cleaning mode or if it's occupied.
