OBJECTIVE: Students will continue to learn architecture using ArchiCAD, or learn the basics of house wiring.
Students were divided into one of three groups, depending upon interest.

Group #1 -- Will continue to work on ArchiCAD and study architecture.
Group #2 -- Will work on the basics of house wiring.
Group #3 -- Will utilize ArchiCAD to create a first-draft plan for a redesigned F-building.

GROUP #1:
Students started work on this Adding a Story Assignment. This is due on 6/8. Steps to Follow to Add a 2nd Story to a House in ArchiCAD.
Students are to look at this 10 Essentials in Designing a Home that all great architecture abides by. This is to be considered homework.
Assignment 4 -- Using the Elements and Patterns assignment. This is due on 6/14.

GROUP #2:
Read through these House Wiring Intro Notes.
As homework, watch these six videos:

House Wiring Project #1: Receptacle-Switch-Light-Wiring Project. This is described in the last three pages of the above House Wiring Intro Notes.
Read the Three-way Switch Notes. This should be done when you are finished with Project #1.
House Wiring Project #2: Three-Way Switches Project.

GROUP #3:
Your task is to come up with a preliminary floor plan that incorporates the current needs that are to be addressed with the bond funds (about $5.5 million). To do this, you are to do the following:
As an entire group, identify the needs from Mr. Nicol, Mr. K, and Mr. Moses as needed. The goals of the bond money are to expand CTE options and facilities. These include the following:
Relocate the computer labs so that they are closer to the shop(s).
Separate the metals and welding area from the woodworking area (two shop areas).
Create a new metals, machining, welding, and autos shop.
Enlarge the area for cutting and welding.
Incorporate an area for a couple of car lifts.
Include space for two HAAS CNC metal mills, as well as all other existing equipment.
Increase the covered storage and project areas behind the F-building.
Increase the storage space for dried lumber, student projects (in cabinets), large projects that are being worked on, and materials, equipment, and resources to run CTE programs.
Included a covered, exterior space for a forklift.
Expand the electrical capacity of the building.
Replace (and enlarge) the building air compressor.
Relocate the kiln area and provide for covered space for the art area.
Upgrade the infrastructure for the art rooms.
Here is a link to the Final Recommendations of the Long-Term Facilities Committee. CV stuff is on the second to the last page.
In pairs, create an ArchiCAD model that illustrates a building floor plan that incorporates all of the above changes and modifications. Highlight changes in some fashion on the floorplan, and use text and notes to spell out all new additions right on your drawing. Place your new floor plan on a D-size drawing.
Provide your instructor with an electronic version of your design (for future use).
A drawing of the current F-building will be provided for your use. Unfortunately, we do not have an electronic version of the existing F-building.

Students completed this form to help Mr. K decide what the final two weeks of class should look like: Final Two Week Survey.
Team leaders, with the assistance of the instructor, assigned students to the various remaining portions of the ROV Documentation Package still requiring completion. Student names were attached to each item of this list. When the instructor grades this package, students will receive scores for the section of the package for which they are assigned. All materials for this package should be placed within a Google Folder that is shared with Mr. Kirsch by the due date noted at right.
Students were given the remainder of the period to complete this documentation task.
