Build-n-Share #184 **New Beginnings, Again** Due 30th September, 2024

 

 

 

BNS: 184: New Beginnings, Again

After over ten years, your architectural firm is bursting at the seams. Many employees have come and gone, and you miss every one of them. But with spring came a new idea—a new building! Things have been hectic, so you are only now getting to your own project as the leaves are turning and beginning to fall off the trees outside your window. Your fresh start will be a chilly one now, but a refreshing change all the same!

A reception area and waiting room is a must. Aside from your own large office, you will need at least six smaller offices for your assistants. Two large meeting rooms and a general office area with at least another four work spaces are needed, plus a break room and bathrooms. If the building is more than one floor, bathrooms should be included on every floor. A parking lot, landscaping, and an outdoor break area should be included. And, for those crazy workdays and nights, a small apartment to crash in when working overtime.

You also need some new employees. Choose your new assistant from the following candidates! Whichever sim assistant is used most will become the new assistant for all the ongoing projects!

Sim Assistant Candidate 1:

Rochelle Brockwell
