Meeting 5 Action Items

During the last meeting we covered a lot of informaiton regarding the retirement community and are prepared to begin to divide the group into focus areas - Architecture, Engineering and Construction Management. This will allow each group to have weekly tasks related to their area of interest and present updates to the whole group and keep the project on schedule.

During meeting #5 we had three volunteers to review information related to the design of our retirement village and prepare a brief memo summarizing their research.

Mariliyn volunteer to research retirement villages. She will be presenting a summary of her telephone calls to a couple of existing communities. She will be asking them questions like:

How many residents do you have?
Do you have a particular style of home? What size are they?
How large is the property for the community?
Where are you located?
Do you have an age restriction?

Kevin volunteered to review the layout of some existing facilities to determine what would work best for Team 8's design. He would be reviewing the following:

• Types of Buildings
• Use and Reuse of Buildings
• Site Plan/Map
• Organization of the Site

Edwin offered to review the geographical layout of several existing facilities. Looking in particular at the proximity of the retirement community to the following:

• Airport
• Hopspital
• Shopping
• University
• Military Base

The brief summary memo is due on Monday January 3rd at our meeting #6. Each student will give a presentation to the group and provide the memo to the project binder for future reference.

Thank you all and look forward to reviewing the information you collected.
