Week 2- Project Planning 
Your virtual team has been hired to design a three-room extension to an existing building and propose a construction plan and estimate for the work. This week, your team needs to decide where to build the rooms. The team can assume that structural upgrades are not needed for a single story addition, but are required for multiple story additions. Each of the new rooms will be the size of one bay in the existing building. Once the layout of the addition has been agreed upon by the team, IIT can begin to model the addition in Revit. Remember to include demolition of any existing structural elements in the modeling, cost estimate, safety analysis and schedule.

Each team has been provided with a Revit model of an existing building. Your model has been imported into the space and you will find it in the yard outside of your conference room. 

Deliverables:  At the end of this week’s session, you will submit two items:
  1. Preliminary design concept showing the layout of the planned 3-room addition.
  2. Team process plan outlining how you plan to execute the project as a team, e.g. tasks, assigned responsibilities, deadlines. (Do you plan to share any responsibilities between schools? How will you share files? How will decisions be made? What units will be used in the models? Will someone be creating meeting minutes? What should you be doing now to prepare for the final report? How will your team handle time changes, exam weeks, and holidays/breaks?) Remember that we are asking you to do all of your work during your meetings in the virtual world with your teammates until Week 9 Report Prep.
Team members from each university will submit the deliverables to your own university (so there will be five identical assignments submitted at UW, UT, and IIT). Note, NTU and YU students will join in March.  We recommend you do another ice breakers when the new students join, and share your answers from this week with them at that time.  Only one submission per university is needed.
