I figured out the square footage for each floor type via CAD for the Elizabeth Library project and then got things ready to go for our meeting!
The project site was half way completed in 2007, and now they are finishing the rest of the building which is nothing but concrete floors and exposed brick. It was really beneficial to visit the project sight and get to walk around inside and really get to visualize the floor plan that had been designed for it. We met with the director of the library, a helper of hers, and the contractor. I took notes as they discussed changes they would like made to the floor plan and questions about dimensions and such.
Next Amanda and I spread out the two finish options we had selected. This went very well, they liked both options, but favored one over the other and of course wanted some things changed on both. Presenting calls for a lot of explanation and some hidden persuation. Amanda did a very good job and it was a good experience watching her get to do this. But by doing this we got a better understanding of their taste. We are going to refine the floor plan and put together an actual sample board for each option to present to the library board next week. So when we returned to the office we reselected some more wall coverings and I ordered some more samples, then cleaned up the mess from alllllllllll the samples we had gotten out yesterday.
