Blog Post 1 – Team and Project Introduction

Our project begins! We are a group of second-year UBC civil engineering students, and we will be working with the North Shore ConneXions Society to design and make conceptual drawings for a possible renovation in their building. Our team consists of:

Seadon Chui

Nicole Philip

Jacky Law

David Wu

Brian Sung

Our project is to help the North Shore ConneXions Society design a new office and meeting space, to replace the woodwork shop currently in their building. The space is 2 floors high, and 50 feet x 50 feet.  Our team’s tasks are to plan the use of the space, and to make drawings of the conceptual design.

North Shore ConneXions Society is an organization dedicated to providing social and educational services to children with special needs. These children are offered programs to help them become more independent, and able to work in their community. Programs are also provided to support the families of these children. The Society focuses its values on the needs of the individual, both the children, and their families. It is headed by a Board of Directors, elected by its members to provide the most up-to-date service.

The goal of this project is to benefit the Society, and through them, families in the North Shore with children with special needs. These children are unable yet to participate in some common activities, but the Society strives to help them grow. We hope this project will help the Society become even better at what it does.

Hi Team,

Great start to this terrific project! I hope you have a meeting set with your client and you are preparing your questions for him so that you can then hammer out the goals, objectives, constraints, and of course the deliverables.

Regards
SN
