Week 3: 04/15/2016

We met with Professor Mitchell on Friday, April 15, 2016 and he spoke about the different things that are needed in a horse stable. We are still trying to get in contact with Bartram's Garden because we still need information on before we start the planning of our project. Since we haven't received the information yet, Professor Mitchell gave us a scenario to think about. He gave us an estimated projection on what information we will be given and we are going to base our project on what he has given us so far. We were also given a book suggestion, Architectural Graphic Standards, on where to look up dimensions of horse stable structure. Also, Hanlan our Financial Advisor was not there due to class and time change.
