Season 1 concept art. So during the concept phase, Caleb was in an Andorian mining colony, not a Torothan one.
There's a video tour of the ship was a cutaway showing where the camera is.

Finished the first season, better than I thought it would be, but still a mediocre experience.
They probably could’ve taken episodes 1, 6 and 10 with a few scenes from other episodes and built a banger of a movie out of it.
Did like the end credits for episode ten.
Roughly 4 out of ten episodes were watchable.

The Fry ratio wins again!
It's straight from the interview Kurtzman and Landau gave.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Bosses Caused Chaos After Rewriting the Finale Weeks Before Filming It
'We have to take this risk, it's our job'
They scrapped the original script a week before shooting was set to begin, and since Paul was scheduled to shoot something else immediately after they didn't have time to build out new sets or do anything outside the "trial in the atrium" that was a good half of the episode.

So, first based on your source, it suggests that it was 2.5 weeks not a week. Minor point, sure, but still…
Second, I also see nothing talking about wanting to build new sets. At the end of the day, this is a tv series we’re talking about. They have a budget and do not have unlimited funds for being able to build sets on a whim.
I don’t disagree that scrapping your entire script a few weeks before shooting is not the best choice. But if the script wasn’t great, sometimes you have to punt.

The interview says absolutely nothing about being forced to film it in the Atrium though, which was your original claim.
So I went through the TV Guide article. Can someone tell me where they said they were forced to film in the Atrium? I even searched for the word atrium in the article, after reading it, and there were no results for atrium.
Even if they were forced to film in the atrium, I’m struggling to see how this is being used against the show. I mean, why wouldn’t they use the set they clearly spent the most money on for the season finale?
What I think it was saying is they had to move quickly to get all the atrium scenes filmed before Giamatti had to leave to go start filming a movie.
I suppose one could say that they might have filmed moe stuff on the set because they were pressed for time and they knew they couldn't take the actor somewhere else and still get things done before he left but that would just be a theory and not something established.

So online folks made shit up to support their hate for the show...
Sometimes. Other times it's just speculation that naturally leads to some theory that just happens to support their personal beliefs.
External validation is always fun for hatred...

I simply can’t imagine being that level of sheep, especially where a TV show is concerned.
Some people are deeply, deeply pitiful and sad.
For a show liked Star Trek, scrapping a script two weeks before shooting would have caused budget problems.
And of course they wanted to build new sets for the finale, the season opener and finale are the two episodes people remember most unless you get lucky with a banger script.
Having just watched the first season finale, I thought the setting of the trial on the Athena was pretty much pitch perfect.
One of those things where more money probably wouldn’t have made for a better episode.
You're just trying to find things to complain about but can't, so you're making shit up.
Nah. Usually by the end of the season, the money is largely tapped out. Besides we have absolutely no idea what they initially had planned.
They typically amortize new sets throughout the course of the season at the beginning. By the end, there’s little to nothing in the budget.
This is one of the reasons why bottle shows existed... it saved money so more could be spent on bigger event episodes, like a season finale.
Seems SFA could have utilized the bottle show trick a little more.

The only time you get that is with new or unskilled Showrunners who dont know how to manage their shows budget.
Skilled and experienced Showrunners go the opposite direction, making an episode or two before the finale into "bottle episodes" so they can save money for the big finale.
The real headscratcher there is that The Life of the Stars was a bottle episode.
