Revised Floor Plans

I have included the lower floor plan (below grade) and made some modifications to the layout based on feedback at the intensive.

On the Lower Floor Plan I've included Parking, Delivery and other service functions. I tried to stack services vertically the are required throughout the building, such as, the Mechanical Room, Public Restrooms, and the Service Kitchen which includes a dumbwaiter.




On the First Floor I relocated the Exhibit Hall to be more accessible to the public. It is a double height space, as is the Multi-Media/Conference Area. I've also included an Internet Cafe' to help attract neighborhood pedestrian traffic to the building. This could create the opportunity for the neighborhood to learn more about sustainablity.

The Second Floor still houses the same functions but I've relocated the IT Resources, Model Shop, and Print/Copy/Scanning Rooms to the Nrthwest portion of the building. The Cafeteria now has a visual connection to the Exhibit Hall on the the First Floor below (a Food Prep Area is directly across the corridor from the Cafeteria). The Multi-Media/Conference Area contains a Mexxanine on this floor. And there is a Roof Garden accessible only from the Internet Cafe'.

The Third and Fourth Floors remain the same except for a Mechanical Room adjacent to the Exit Stair.


I am in the process of generating a 3D model. I will post this along with the sections and elevations this weekend.

Your floor plans look good--we'll refine them later. You should concentrate on your sections and elevations right now and I'll comment extensively when you post them. Don't get bogged down, just get something that we can work with.

Windows are missing...I guess they will be shown on the model you are working on. I can't wait to see it, do you have any sketched elevations/sections? Good Luck
