Looks like a college common area.
I guess that stands to reason as it was designed by interns.

A couple games have been set up in the flex space area, but be warned the artificial turf is roasting in the sun:
They could make big money off of a SSE cornhole set.
But the publicly available set will be destroyed by the end of the week.

Why did they remove all of the theming from Communicore Hall overnight?

I heard all those rusted bits all around World celebration; the rust is coming off and staining clothing? Is this fake news?

It’s mind boggling how bad it is. Take away the banners and it’s literally an airport or hospital cafeteria.

We know it's "flex space" but that's it? Throw some tables and chairs into the middle of the room and call it a day?

I do enjoy the play of lighting on the exterior at night, even if use of the triangles are lazy and way too self-referential. But the inside just looks... sparse... empty... value engineered. So a gas station on the outside, and a hospital cafeteria on the inside. Minimally functional and air conditioned but far from world class or inspiring. And functionally it provides nothing more than what was already there before, which was far more grand and ambitious.First Look Inside EPCOT's New CommuniCore Hall

ETA: Rangerbob beat me to it in terms of the hospital reference

That was my thought. The old building south of the breezeway had spaces for guests to sit and a Mickey M&G. Could have just left that building, gutted it, and reconfigured the space.

They are the planned highlight of my August vacation, so speak for yourself. We will be stopping by daily. Twice on Sunday.

And retained the vast Innoventions space for future development. Heck, they even could have put in a dark ride like Google's from 2019 CES (which was far more "Epcot" than anything Disney's done in 10-15 years):
I still contend tearing down the Innoventions/Comminicore building was a financial move, eliminating HVAC/electrical costs there to help offset those expenses in the huge Guardians building.

It would have been the same thing just higher and with an up-charged fireworks viewing area.
