Design Challenge Background
The challenge is to redesign your high school’s athletic facilities into an athletic pavillion. With national organizations emphasizing the importance of regular phyical activity to combat obesity, these spaces are more important (and used!) than ever. They are becoming communty spaces and spaces for connecting, cheering, and improving lifestyles.
Design Challenge Brief
You may redesign the interior of the existing athletic facilities, expand on the existing spaces, or design a completely new addition on to your school building. Your design should contain all the spaces and functions required for typical school athletic facilities – locker rooms, athletic equipment storage rooms, concession stands, trophy cases, water fountains, offices for athletics staff, bathrooms, exercise and weight rooms, and, of course, gym spaces. The redesigned pavillion should include ideas for both old and new ideas for athletic facilities. You should also consider sustainability issues and the environmental impact of your design.
For your Overview, it is important to post a short, but clear, ‘success statement’ that communicates the goals you hope to solve and achieve through your design solutions. When you’re nearly finished with your design project, you can go back to this success statement to see if your design has met the criteria you first proposed.

-A final set 2d drawings (plans and building elevations) are needed
-Good perspectives
-Nice final building shape
-interior organization could be better if circulation was considered

I think you made great use of the software programs to show your design. You also picked some great projects to inspire your design. Overall I would like to see more explanation as to "why" you made certain design choices. For example:why is one space by another? Why does the school need this type of facility? Etc... Also, presentation is important. Each step should have an explanation of your thought process that tells a story about your building and the vision you have for it. Drawings and renderings should be presented in a way that is clear and easy to understand.
You showed a good variety of renderings that offer overall perspective and also pedestrian views. However, overall context and scaled people could have been added to your renderings to show that the scale &proportions of the spaces is appropriate for the functions of the program. Also, a little more initial research about existing conditions / problems could have helped influenced your ideas - and identified to us what the main problem areas are for your school.
