Build-n-Share 112-113 • Back to School Bridgeport Style
“Phew!,” you say as you look at the stack of client files on the your desk. Business is certainly building as your reputation spreads throughout Sunset Valley. Clients in other cities are even beginning to request your services. You buzz your secretary Rose. “Rose, is Mr. Jones here yet?”
“Yes, he’s just arrived,” answers Rose.
“Please send him right in.” You rise to meet Johnny Jones, the President of Bridgeport Junior College.
“Good morning,” says Mr. Jones as he grasps your hand in a firm handshake. “It’s so nice to finally meet you after hearing so much about your work.”
“Why, thank you,” you answer. “I’m excited to hear what kind of project BJC is planning. Please have a seat,” you say, gesturing to one of the chairs by your desk.
Mr. Jones takes a seat and begins to explain the project. “BJC is looking to make the transition from a commuter college to one that provides college housing. We want to expand our degree offerings and draw in more potential students. We don’t think we can do that without providing housing.”
“Wow, a college dormitory. This could turn into quite an extensive and lucrative project,” you think to yourself, nodding to encourage Mr. Jones to continue.
“One of our late alumni bequeathed the college an apartment building quite near the campus. We had originally thought to convert the building into classrooms, but the Board of Trustees feels it would be better to use this building for our first dorm.”
“So, you want me to design the new dormitory?” you ask.
“Well, in a sense. What we actually want you to do first is convert one of the apartments into a “model dorm.” We’ll potentially use this model in our college recruitment literature, and we’ll use the basic design of the space as a template for the rest of the renovation. We’ll want this space to have a bit of a lived-in look so that potential students can envision themselves living there. Does that make sense?”
“Absolutely,” you answer. “I’ll design a functional dorm space then add in personal touches as though students might actually live there.”
“Exactly,” confirms Mr. Jones. “Just don’t make it too realistic – no pizza boxes or piles of clothes strewn about. I remember what my dorm looked like in college,” he laughs.
You chuckle along with him. “Of course, I’ll get with my builders and start drawing up plans immediately. We’ll have a model dorm for you to look at in no time.”
Design Brief
Use Civil Suites at 24 2nd Avenue in Bridgeport (or if you don’t have Late Night you can construct a building with the same dimensions as shown in the picture below). Landscaping is not required for this challenge.
No budget, but keep in mind that this is a dorm, not a high end loft
2 BDR/1BA with a kitchenette
The dorm should sleep 4 people.
You can rearrange the interior walls any way you would like.
Make sure to include a study area.
You need to redecorate the hallway area as well. To do this you will have to press CTRL+SHIFT+C to bring up the console, then type in the following cheat RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings off
