I would not be able to attend the next couple of days' meetings. If there are meeting on Saturday and/or Sunday, please let me know. Thank You.

Active Design and Sustainability
~ Exterior Aspect
Our design is primarily to support the goal of maintaining an active and sustainable lifestyle. In our site, we have a plaza space with a lot of features such as trees, fountain, and bout movable and fixed seating. There are bikeways to minimize cars to promote walking so pedestrians can be safe and can enjoy their surroundings. Buffers are created to separate pedestrians from moving vehicles by using a lot of trees and other sidewalk infrastructures. Trees and landscaping are used for recreation, encouragement of walking and shading.
~ Interior Aspect
To further promote walking, stairs would be made more appealing than an elevator. Suggestions are having nature on indoor gathering areas and having bring, inviting colors that attract use.
