Blog Post 6 – Achievements

Our final blog post! This blog post concludes our CBEL project, summarizing what we achieved, what we contributed, and what we learned.

Last week, following our poster presentation, we delivered the final design to Mr. Fricker. Our final product consisted of  3D models of the renovated lower floor, upper floor, and a possibility for a smaller mezzanine instead of a complete second floor. These were given to Mr. Fricker, who will use them to show, to an architect, how he plans to renovate the space.

Being merely a very preliminary part of the design process, our project did little to contribute to the community. Our hope is that, as the design develops and the space is renovated, its use will benefit the staff of NS ConneXions Society, and in turn its members.

As students, we learned about project context. Our designs were aimed to meet the needs of our client, and we used first-hand interaction with the community we would be working with to know just what was needed. Since our project did not extend beyond the design phase, we did not take any part in the planning or implementation of the whole project.

Once again, this post concludes our project. Thanks to NS ConneXions Society for letting us work with them, and to contributions from Dr. Nesbit, Navid Shakibi, and others who helped us make this project a success!

Hi Team,

Thanks for completing this project to specs and on time! Every project has to start somewhere and your efforts now have undoubtedly prevented problems from arising later.

I wonder if you have developed a deeper understanding of the phases of project management – can you now imagine the level of detail needed to complete a large-scale, multi-year, infrastructure project?

Regards,
Susan Nesbit
