We had a much better turn out at our second meeting. Team 8 was broken up into six groups. Each group was handed a tape measure and a set of construction drawings that consisted of a Floor Plan, Reflected Ceiling Plan, and two sheets of Interior Elevations. Each team then visually surveyed a classroom space and took critical dimensions of items such as the distances between walls, columns, window and door sizes, mechanical supply louvers, ceiling heights and structural columns. In addition, each student measured and noted the locations of all architectural and engineering elements including, door swings, duplex receptacles, telephone/data outlet, toggle switches, permanently audio/visual equipment, thermostat, fire alarm strobe, fire sprinkler heads and other installed items.
The drawings supplied were intentionally left predominantly blank except for the partition walls and ceiling acoustical tile grid layout. This allowed students to add the building features to their own drawings. Moreover, on the Interior Elevation drawings, students noticed several deviations. These deviations were highlighted and discussed with the mentors. Field conditions was cited as the possible explanations for the deviations.
Lastly, several practical techniques were discussed such as creating architectural symbols for items not listed on the drawing legend and how to handle a tape measure to measure vertically.
ONCE AGAIN NICE WORK EVERYONE!
