III. Introduction
A. Downtown Baton Rouge is currently going over a major renovation to try and revitalize the area. Several new buildings have been constructed like the Shaw Center, while other older structures like the Capitol Hotel on Lafayette Street are getting a makeover and are being restored to their Art Deco past. Also, newly constructed parking garages can accommodate much larger numbers of people than ever before. With these new and updated buildings the downtown area is getting a much needed facelift, but there is still plenty work to do to get more people to come back to this once thriving area. Introducing a single screen movie theater back to the downtown area could help the night life thrive.

B. Dinner and a movie is a classic phrase that most Americans have heard of. Why not have a restaurant and theater all in one building? No hurring trying to go from one place to another would save time and frustration. How about a small intament friendly atmosphere? A single screen movie theater and a restaurant is what I propose to design.

C. The Client is Mr. Johnson. He is a small business owner and resides in Baton Rouge, LA. Mr. Johnson has grown to love the dear city that he was raised in, and is excited about restoring the downtown area back to its former glory. He has always had a love for movies and feels that reintroducing a movie theater to the area could help to bring more people into the area. The goal is to create a small theater with one screen, and to have a restaurant on the second floor. Mr. Johnson would like his users to enjoy their time in downtown and to come back so he wants to create a fun friendly atmosphere. The target users for the movie theater are college students and adults. The theater will show Independent films that normally aren't seen any where around here, and to show some of the box office hits of the current weekend. On Saturdays and Sundays he plans to show family fun movies to bring families to the area. Also, during the weekdays the theater can be rented out for birthday parties, corporate retreats and seminars and other events.
