Group 8 Weekly Process


Week three consisted of a progression of floor plan finalization and 3D exterior views of the building. SketchUp was used to create a 3D visual of the new health and wellness center. This allowed our team to fully visualize and concept the actual space for entry and connection to the existing pool building. A successful decision was made with the connection to the new building that adds visual interest and pleased the clients of OCCC. Our concepts and ideas of incorporating the elements from buildings on campus came through this week and really made them present in the more finalized form of the building.

Goals we met:

Roof system

Exterior shell

2nd floor plan

Site Visit/Photographs taken

3D model in SketchUp


Goals for the following week:

Finalize both floor plans indefinitely

Work on 2nd floor rooftop patio

Figure out drainage problem with connected building

Allow for ample storage in the floor plans


Overall, this week was extremely successful with a 3D building model. The group came to a consensus on the overall exterior appearance for the building. However, the floor plans still need work. The first floor plan was not achieved because the decided upon shape of the building from the previous week minimized square footage on the first floor. This posed a problem for our group and we were not able to accomplish this task fully by the Monday review. This will be the most important goal for the following week. Materials are also going to be selected for main areas of the building in this next week in order to begin work on rendered perspectives for the interior.
