Jaclyn, your program presentation is complete and consistent. I like the implied hierarchy with the order of the pieces in the spreadsheet, the description that starts (after a small detour through the drop-off area) with the heart of the institution: the classrooms. I’m glad you dropped the “not needing daylight” in the dorm rooms from the description. Limiting the quantity of bath fixtures is a good intent and will need careful design consideration. The connection to outdoor space is a reasonable request and will certainly be influencing the design. The one thing you might rethink is the relationship between living quarters, dinging and exhibit area. Wouldn’t you want to be able to use a dining/lounge area near your private sleeping quarter, having that space as an additional place for discussion, recreation, et cetera?
Werner, I agree with your comment about the dining/lounge. I've been struggling with a way to position that space closer to the sleeping quarters but I also think that it should have access to the exhibit area so it can be utilized as a a reception type area. I will investigate this further.
I am the mother of 2 (ages 4 and 2) currently working on my Architectural Thesis at Boston Architectural College. I have a strong interest in youth and helping them in any way I can. My thesis began by looking for ways to assist them in the society we live in today.
