Exhibition details:

The web form above would not let me change the AM/PM for the start time on Oct. 18. We will be out there setting up on Tuesday, Oct. 15, about 3:00PM, and will take it down at midday on Friday, Oct. 18. For the activity, we will be having each of our ARCH 470/570 Building Construction lab sections, with about 18-22 students in each section, working with their lab chipboard/paperboard models (each about 12″ high and 15″ square) to share the designs with their classmates and test them for performance. We will be using two folding tables, and students will stand around them for the activity. The labs are only be at seven two-hour periods during the week, and in between we will break down the tables and performance equipment, and move it out of the courtyard. Labs are Tues, 4pm, Wed., 8am and 10am, Thur., 4pm and 6pm, and Fri., 8am and 10am. We will pick up and make the area clear between labs, and will do a thorough clean-up of the space after the last lab on Friday. Please see attached plan of the 1st Floor Lawrence showing placement of the tables in the south side of the western covered area, under the 2nd floor bridge, with some ovals showing how we imagine students gathering during the activity. Thanks for your consideration of our application to use the space.
