Today I was able to finish my final solution floor plan. The drawing contains all the room sizes, layout, door placements, and window placements. The drawing took three class periods to complete and I am relieved to have a finished floor plan. Yesterday I began preparation for the formal progress update this week and will continue to do so.

Yesterday we were able to complete our rough conceptual model of the building, along with the surrounding plot and street. The model was constructed out of presentation board and took 3 days to finish. The model will help to show building placement, parking lot flow, ambulance entrance, and traffic flow around the lot.

Yesterday our group, along with the other TSA Architecture group, visited Centra State Medical Center to take a tour of the Emergency Unit. The tour was extremely helpful to our research, and our planning of the room/building sizes. We were able to see first hand the amount of space we needed for each type of room. We were also able to see the type of equipment needed, and the space that equipment took up. More about the trip to Centra State can be found under Research- Centra State Medical Center.
This week I have continued work on my floor plan, and using the AutoCAD Architecture Program I have began work on a drawings that only depics the spacing of the rooms. This will give us a good idea of the sizes of our building, in relation to our lot. I will begin to work on more mentor contacts, and trying to get into contact with my main mentor.
