Skills Learned:

I was able to experiment with different dorm styles. Laying out student housing is like residential housing.  Trying to find the most comfortable layout that flows well and has all the essentials that’s needed. Another skill I learned was of measuring out important landmarks when going out in the field. Its so important to know what dimensions we need before going out, so we do not miss anything.  Going out in the field is fun but it takes up a lot of time from the workday. Taking photos while on site is a good thing to reference back at.  If you know the basic dimensions of a CMU block you can use that to figure out what a dimension is if you missed it when you were out in the field.  At RCA we had to work on 12 different garages and this image is one of the examples of things that we took photos of but might have missed when out in the field.  I was sent out to measure unfortunately the man who was in the ticket booth was gone and I was unable to measure the room inside but looking at where the doors are placed with the CMUs I was able to make a good assumption how the rooms were laid out.
