It's a nice photo and it's nice you were able to get the space isolated like that. I tend to be old school in black and white so I would like a bit more contrast to "punch it up" but that's just my personal taste. The most compelling photos in black and white seem to be contrasting ones. Since we are shooting in Raw and color, we do have the opportunity to address the tones in Photoshop for those colors that will impact the resulting conversion to Black and white.  In Photoshop you can place a B&W adjustment layer over your image and adjust the color sliders to impact the tonal values in the Black and White image. Give it a try.
