Today in class I was able to continue work on my floor plan. I was able to determine that the exterior walls of the building must be even measurements or be on the odd 4' or the even 8'. This will need to be corrected on my drawing and adjustments will need to be made.

Today I was able to complete the bid process for the balsa wood necessary for model construction and the cedar mulch that would be used in landscaping if I were to actually build the facility. I was able to find four companies that supply balsa wood; Balsa USA, National Balsa, Solarbo, and Alvin Inc. I also found three companies for cedar mulch. I recieved two email confirmations on purchase orders for balsa wood from Balsa USA and National Balsa. The other two companies have yet to respond. I finished the bid process sheets by writing the company informatoin and fax number on the sheets.

Yesterday and today during class I was able to create and complete my marking period 2 calender. I created this calendar in document form and included the following tasks;
- mentor contacts
- logs
- drawings
- due dates
- days off
After completing my calendar I was able to begin working on my bid process. I have decided to complete two seperate bid processes. One would be pretaining to the model and the balso wood necessary. The other would be in a real life situation, buying mulch for the landscaping. I need to contact the balsa wood companies to see if they accept purchase orders.

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.
