A7 Grades and Closing Thoughts

Hi Everyone,

All of your final assignments were graded as of 12/6, so please let me know if you do not see a grade there.  My apologies for taking longer than normal to grade, but these last few days have been pretty hectic, as I am sure you all are feeling similar stress.  Overall, everyone exhibited a good knowledge of the systems in Stratton Hall.  One thing that a lot of groups omitted was the dedicated paths for materials, people, and vehicles on the circulation diagrams as well as the space allocations.  Don't underestimate the importance of these diagrams, especially as you move into AE391.  It is essential when designing a building to consider how different people or things move through the building.  Building Programming is also really important.  The reason we had you put together those space allocation diagrams is to understand why parts of the building program are clustered together.  Speaking of AE391, please be sure to bookmark all of the AE390 resources, databases, and blogs before it disappears.  Trust me, they help so much!

If you have any questions on your grades for the term, please shoot me an email at amm543@drexel.edu.  If not, I will see you all in AE391.  Hope you all make it through your finals and have a relaxing break!

Happy Holidays!! :)
