The design looked like rooms inside a pod inside a building. Seems like a fire in front of a single door could in theory kill everyone in the pod based on the image in the article.

Honestly, this looks like a low security prison to me. Small cells and a day room for activities and socializing.

If they lofted the bed, the desk could be moved under the bed. And if they had everyone just wear house uniforms, they could reduce the need for storage space and reduce the size of the rooms by 1/3
