Much brainstorming was done on what the EMC should include, and what rooms are going to be needed. Brainstorming also was needed to determine a location for the EMC.
Space Usage
Preliminary Sketches
Preliminary sketches were done to start visually formalizing ideas on the layout of the building. After completing several sketches, we were able to see clearly how the layout would function, and which sketches were possible solutions, or not viable.
Location
The location of the EMC depends on several factors. These factors are;
We decided it would be a smart choice to choose a location that was in or near Monmouth County, so we would be able to know the area, which would give us an advantage in learning the building codes of the area, and being able to speak in person with city representatives. Choosing a location that we are able to visit will allow us to visit the site, and determine visually what the building will look like on that plot of land. After coming to this conclusion we needed to determine what hospitals were in the vicinity.

Location
The location of the EMC depends on several factors. These factors are;
- vicinity to nearest hospital
- space and zoning availability
- research ease (the level of difficulty it would take for us to conduct research on buildings codes and other local restrictions/standards)
- community medical needs
