LESSONS LEARNED

RECORDS OF WORK

Holiday Inn Charleston (project planning & design)

• Project Location: Charleston, SC
• Brief Description: The firm recently secured a hospitality project in Charleston, SC. The hotel will be renovated and the building’s exterior will be reskinned using more contemporary materials and systems. The project is currently in the conceptual design phase.
• Project Scope: Research and gather more information about contemporary facade systems, hotel lobbies, and the existing site. Manage the project in BIM.
• Project Manager: Thomas Jasper
• Role of the Student: Meet with my mentor. Research additional precedents. Revise vision boards. Meet with LS3P support team. Review project documents. Set up BIM360 project documents.
• Experience:
  • For this week, I was tasked with conducting further research on contemporary facade systems (i.e., brick and metal), hotel lobbies, and existing site conditions (i.e., Ashley River). I also revised the visioning board with the additional precedents to better sell the ideas to the clients, thereby enhancing the presentation. I also set up the BIM360 project documents with the support team and gave them the necessary project information. This meant that I was required to review the contract documents and zoning documents for the project to gather this information. Overall, I am excited to take on this renovation project since I have yet to work on this kind of project. Additionally, I was able to familiarize myself with the legal aspects of the project, thereby gaining a better understanding of how a firm operates. Next week, I will create the Revit model with the general massing and site terrain.
